I've modified the fileleaprc.ff99 file, and it now adds lots of atoms when I
load it.

I'm now having problems with the bond command. My DNA is made of adenine
and thymine bases. The format I tried to use to bond the atoms is

bond ade.1.P ade.94.O3T

bond thy.95.P thy.188.O3T

(ie ade for adenine 1 for the base number and P for the atom name)

but this doesn't work. It doesn't recognise this format. I'm not sure what
I'm doing wrong. I'd appreciate any advice.
