Lesson #0 of computing: When a program tells you something and you
then ask for help, *copy and paste* the program's output. "It seemed
like" is the most likely source of error here. Maybe there was an
error reported, and you simply didn't recognize it... but by not
showing us the output, you force us to trust your judgment about what
it seemed like.
