(RADIATOR) Error in manual (sec 6.4.30)

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello David -

You are correct - the dash (-) is being interpreted as an array specifier 
between the dot (.) and the underscore (_). 

I have forwarded your mail to Mike so he can fix the manual.

BTW - I always use an escape on the single characters just to make it more 
obvious what is supposed to happen.

Ie. a-zA-Z0-9\.\-\_\@

Thanks for pointing this out.

regards

Hugh
