Yes, I did try selecting atom numbers and it did work.  Thanks.  Rebecca

I don't know what a propeptide is but ...

you could try:

  select amino & 1-62

OR

you could try selecting by atom numbers instead of by residue numbers:

  select atomno >= 1 & atomno < 999 # or whatever your atom numbers are
