<P><B>Description:</B>
</P>
<P>Apply a force to each atom in a group to drag it towards the point
(x,y,z). The magnitude of the force is specified by fmag. If an atom
is closer than a distance delta to the point, then the force is not
applied.
</P>
<P>Any of the x,y,z values can be specified as NULL which means do not
include that dimension in the distance calculation or force
application.
</P>
<P>This command can be used to steer one or more atoms to a new location
in the simulation.
