Re: [brlcad-users] Problem with tutorial Lesson 13 section 3

[Dan B. <dan...@ac...>]

OK, since there was no error indication in Archer is that a reportable 
bug?

I have been copying and pasting from the tutorial so should that be 
fixed also or should there be a warning in the document?

Perhaps this is a copy-paste issue where the character used in the (pdf/html) lesson you're using is not what one would type, but looks very similar.  I suggest try typing a simple dash (a minus sign) and see if it still complains about a bad operation.  Hopefully, that's all it is.
