    saveAmberPrep unit filename

      UNIT _unit_
      STRING _filename_

Save all residues in the UNIT to a prep.in file. All possible improper
dihedrals are given for each residue, so unwanted ones need to be
deleted from the file. 'Connect0' and 'connect1' atoms must be defined
for each residue.

Even though saveamberprep is not explained in the manual, u can get help
from 'help <command name>' in tleap/xleap.

For Hashem Taha's question; do the following to see if saveamberprep is
working:

Run xleap and,
------------------
source leaprc.ff99
saveamberprep RG rg.prep
------------------
If this is working, that means that 'saveamberprep' command is working
fine. In this case, I would say that your structure has some problem in
it. Maybe there is a problem with atom naming. Without further info. I
cannot say anything. But try the above test to see if saveamberprep is
working fine or not.

Good luck,
