of course you never changed the KIND, but the "standard" of XYZ is to
have:
ELEMENT X Y Z
and not
KIND x y z
If you want to be able to track the "D", then I suggest you to
exploit the
capabilities of VMD, first loading an XYZ with the names you like and
loading
on the top of that molecule the whole trajectory you like (since the
order of the atoms
in the trajectory is the same as the one in input).
Instead of the original XYZ, you can as well use PSF or PDB.
