Hi Ronny,


There's one extra thing you'll want to do.  The background context we need 
to run that command isn't automatically "required".  Do the following 
first:

     (require (lib "util.ss" "planet"))

which will load in the util.ss library from the "planet" collection. 
This is indirectly hinted since the header of that section of the help 
page names the util.ss file.

Another way to do this is to use the command-line "planet" utility if you 
have access to the command line.  If you search for the term "The planet 
command-line tool" (which is on the same help page as the one you were 
looking at, but around the middle of the page), you should see the 
documentation on it.


Good luck to you!
