I, too, have had problems getting the Turing machine 
simulation to work.  I noticed discussion of the
line:	map	k	|D

In the package I have, there is the file "tm" and a file
"tm.uuecode".  I notice that in "tm" the line is as above,
and I get the "missing rhs" error message when I try
to ":so tm"  (I'm on a Sun 3/50 under SunOS 4.0.x).

The file that "tm.uuencode" produces, let's call it "tm2",
has the line:	map	k	^V|D
as was discussed in previous messages. (I didn't check if all other
lines are the same.)  The ":so tm2" succeeds
this time, but when I type "g" I get the first few movements,
followed by the error message: "can't put inside a global/macro".

Any ideas what this can be traced to?
