Reading Trajectories 
    
The read trajectory statement allows one to 
extract single coordinate sets from a trajectory.  It also
makes it possible to loop through all or selected
frames of a trajectory file and to carry out operations
on each frame using X-PLOR's shell language. 
To facilitate shell-language control of the 
reading of trajectory files, a symbol $STATUS (of type
string) is declared by the read trajectory statement. 
 After an initial 
call to  the read trajectory statement to 
define the input files and their format, the symbol $STATUS 
is set to “READ". The subsequent coordinate sets are 
read via READ DYNAmics next statements. After
the last trajectory frame has been read, the symbol 
$STATUS is set to “COMPLETE".
