this seems like good advise to me. To be precise, the necessary python
statements are

import protocol
protocol.addUnknownAtoms()
protocol.fixupCovalentGeom()

be aware that fixupCovalentGeom  will slightly modify the initial input
coordinates. Please let us know if this is unacceptable, and I will
suggest an alternative approach.

regards--
