hello Justin:

   thanks for kind tips.
   I've tried both methods:

g_select -f md.xtc -s npt3.pdb -os size.xvg -sf selection.dat

g_select -f md.xtc -s npt3.pdb -os size.xvg -select 'resname SOL and name OW
within 0.6 of resid 114'


but they all failed with messages:

--------------------log--------------------

WARNING: masses and atomic (Van der Waals) radii will be determined
          based on residue and atom names. These numbers can deviate
          from the correct mass and radius of the atom type.

selection parser: syntax error

Well, like I warned, I wasn't 100% sure of the syntax, so it was no guarantee that I was right. Reading into the documentation and examples a bit, it seems that "resname SOL and name OW" should be enclosed within double quotes, within the single-quoted string. Otherwise, use this selection.dat file:

waterO = name OW;
close = waterO and within 0.6 of resid 114;
close;

It should be possible to do it in one line, but the above set of selections seems to work fine.
