Thanks a lot - I did not realize one had to hit "return" after running it (or leave an extra empty line below it). It works! Dimitri

It's not possible to know what you did wrong without more information, but one guess (probably wrong) is that you didn't enter a blank line to exit from specify.model(), which simply uses scan() to read the model: > library(sem) > model1 <- specify.model() 1: NECESSITY -> n1, NA, 1 2: NECESSITY -> n2, lam_nec_2, NA 3: NECESSITY -> n3, lam_nec_3, NA 4: NECESSITY -> n4, lam_nec_4, NA 5: FRUGALITY -> f1, NA, 1 6: FRUGALITY -> f2, lam_frug_2, NA 7: FRUGALITY -> f3, lam_frug_3, NA 8: TIME -> t1, NA, 1 9: n1 <-> n1, theta_n1, NA 10: n2 <-> n2, theta_n2, NA 11: n3 <-> n3, theta_n3, NA 12: n4 <-> n4, theta_n4, NA 13: f1 <-> f1, theta_f1, NA 14: f2 <-> f2, theta_f2, NA 15: f3 <-> f3, theta_f3, NA 16: t1 <-> t1, NA, 0.414 17: NECESSITY <-> NECESSITY, phi_NN, NA 18: FRUGALITY <-> FRUGALITY, phi_FF, NA 19: TIME <-> TIME, phi_TT, NA 20: NECESSITY <-> TIME, phi_NT, NA 21: NECESSITY <-> FRUGALITY, phi_NF, NA 22: FRUGALITY <-> TIME, phi_FT, NA 23: Read 22 records > Regards, John On Wed, 11 Apr 2007 11:41:25 -0700 (PDT) John Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > A strange problem with sem: > > I downloaded the sem library and then, I specified my simple > measurement model (below).
