[Radiance-general] scene 0 tutorial error

[Greg Ward]

Hi Cramer,

As far as I can tell, this is not a Radiance-generated error.  It  
must be coming from whatever shell you are using, and may indicate  
you have some hidden or illegal character in your file.  Try deleting  
and re-entering the line to see if that helps.

What operating system are you using?
