Thank you very much for your kind reply.
The problem is that there are too many atom names for 72 full atom lips and it 
can make mistakes easily.
If a rename atom A into B, it will mix the old atom B which already there 
before A renamed into B. However, if the old atom B also need to be renamed 
into C. Here is the problem , command cannot recognize this atom B is the new 
generated or the old atom B. Of course, those atom B derive from A should not 
be renamed into C.....

If there is only dozens of atoms name, it would be ok modify them manually. But 
if there are thousands, it would be a big problem to do so.
