[newbie] Programmer Tutorial Question

Hi all;

I'm trying to learn things, working through a programmer's tutorial,and
I'm stuck trying to make this work.  Compiler says that line 3 is not
good:

compile
#110:do_the_work not compiled because:
  Line 3:  syntax error


  1: if (this.wound)
  2:    if ($object_utils:isa(this.location,$room)
__3_      this.location:announce_all(this.name," ",this:continue_msg());
^^4^     this.wound = this.wound - 1;
  5:     if (this.wound)
  6:       fork (15)
  7:         this:do_the_work();
  8:       endfork
  9:     else
 10:       this.location:announce_all(this.name, " ",
this:wind_down_msg());
 11:     endif
 12:   endif
 13:   if (this.wound < 0)
 14:      this.wound=0;
 15:   endif
 16: endif

Now, this is exactly what is in the tutorial, so I can't even guess at
how I might get through learning this to get onto the next phase.  Any
help, or any other tutorial document references would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance, and apologies for the newbie bandwidth waste,

Jason
