Question about Appendix C.6 code

I have begun working through the information on RMark because I'd like to integrate some of my functional analysis with the R graphics capabilities, and I couldn't quite figure out how to get there simply using output from the MARK analysis.
I am currently following the code in section C.6 on design covariates in the most recent version of the chapter found on the site (08.02.2013). At the top of page C-29, we define a dataframe for effort, then merge it with the rest of the dipper data already in hand.
When I run the second line, I get the following:
"Error: unexpected input in "dipper.ddl=merge\"
Normally I can figure out the issue (a typo in my code) and resolve, but I've had no luck with this one. Can anyone put me back on the right track? Is this an error in the code provided, or possibly something wrong with my installation? Everything else has run fine, and I just updated to the latest versions (last week) of R and MARK. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

- Code: Select all
df=data.frame(time=c(1980:1986),effort=c(10,5,2,8,1,2,3))
dipper.ddl=merge\_occasion.data(dipper.process,dipper.ddl,"p",df)
