			<P><B>Description:</B>
			</P>
			<P>Define a calculation that sums per-atom values on a per-molecule
			basis, one per listed input. The inputs can <A HREF = "compute.html">computes</A>,
			<A HREF = "fix.html">fixes</A>, or <A HREF = "variable.html">variables</A> that generate per-atom
			quantities. Note that attributes stored by atoms, such as mass or
			force, can also be summed on a per-molecule basis, by accessing these
			quantities via the <A HREF = "compute_property_atom.html">compute property/atom</A>
			command.
			</P>
			<P>Each listed input is operated on independently. Only atoms within the
			specified group contribute to the per-molecule sum. Note that compute
			or fix inputs define their own group which may affect the quantities
			they return. For example, if a compute is used as an input which
			generates a per-atom vector, it will generate values of 0.0 for atoms
			that are not in the group specified for that compute.
			</P>
			<P>The ordering of per-molecule quantities produced by this compute is
			consistent with the ordering produced by other compute commands that
			generate per-molecule datums. Conceptually, them molecule IDs will be
			in ascending order for any molecule with one or more of its atoms in
			the specified group.
			</P>
			<P>If an input begins with "c_", a compute ID must follow which has been
			previously defined in the input script and which generates per-atom
			quantities. See the individual <A HREF = "compute.html">compute</A> doc page for
			details. If no bracketed integer is appended, the vector calculated
			by the compute is used. If a bracketed interger is appended, the Ith
			column of the array calculated by the compute is used. Users can also
			write code for their own compute styles and <A HREF = "Section_modify.html">add them to
			LAMMPS</A>.
			</P>
			<P>If an input begins with "f_", a fix ID must follow which has been
			previously defined in the input script and which generates per-atom
			quantities. See the individual <A HREF = "fix.html">fix</A> doc page for details.
			Note that some fixes only produce their values on certain timesteps,
			which must be compatible with when compute atom/molecule references
			the values, else an error results. If no bracketed integer is
			appended, the vector calculated by the fix is used. If a bracketed
			integer is appended, the Ith column of the array calculated by the fix
			is used. Users can also write code for their own fix style and <A HREF = "Section_modify.html">add
			them to LAMMPS</A>.
			</P>
			<P>If an input begins with "v_", a variable name must follow which has
			been previously defined in the input script. It must be an
			<A HREF = "variable.html">atom-style variable</A>. Atom-style variables can
			reference thermodynamic keywords and various per-atom attributes, or
			invoke other computes, fixes, or variables when they are evaluated, so
			this is a very general means of generating per-atom quantities to sum
			on a per-molecule basis.
			</P>
			<HR>

			<P><B>Output info:</B>
			</P>
			<P>This compute calculates a global vector or global array depending on
			the number of input values. The length of the vector or number of
			rows in the array is the number of molecules. If a single input is
			specified, a global vector is produced. If two or more inputs are
			specified, a global array is produced where the number of columns =
			the number of inputs. The vector or array can be accessed by any
			command that uses global values from a compute as input. See <A HREF = "Section_howto.html#4_15">this
			section</A> for an overview of LAMMPS output
			options.
			</P>
			<P>All the vector or array values calculated by this compute are
			"extensive".
			</P>
			<P>The vector or array values will be in whatever <A HREF = "units.html">units</A> the
			input quantities are in.
