The "equation(s)" after the given must be entered using [ctrl]+=, i.e., a control-enter, which normally appears as a bolded equal sign.

Orbiting a small yellow star

works perfectly for me.

There must be something wrong with your typing, the error message should not be a placeholder.

did you type D=, not D:

as your last line?

Thanks Greg!

That was it, I had typed Cntl+= for that last =

Interesting there are are at least three versions of "=" then:

type: =
type: :
type: cntl + = (control =)

This is all explained in the manual as well as the help files.

:= is the assignment operator
= is the result operator
[crtl]= is the constraint operator
