Subject: Problem with stat formula calculation

Ok--here is my stats section from a file I recently helped a friend
create:

.~HX1*# 46

The problem is with the last 2 stats--right now I have them commented
out so I cna keep using the file. But when I try the formula

DX1*#

where the calculation is to take teh stat DX1 and multiply it by the
unti count, it doesn't work--it says "Invalid Arithmetic Stat
Expression".

Any clues what I'm doing wrong? I wrote the formula exactly as it
appears in the Construction Kit manual.

The friend he's helping is me :-)

If one needs to see the original unit stats/formulae, they can be found here
http://home.cogeco.ca/~shattered-sph...ules/military/ Some adjustments
have had to be made to accomodate ABCreator.

As an aside, as a completely new entrant to this program I must say that the
Manual to ABCreator is incredibly hard to use if not virtually useless
without a guiding hand. If it wasn't for Mike E's help so far on this, I'd
be completely lost intead of the just supremely confused the way I am right
now. While I never had an illusion it'd be easy... I didn't think it'd be
this hard either. Maybe somebody at the company might want to look at
creating a slightly more user friendly version of the manual. One that uses
a bit more plain english than engineer-ese.
