[Tekkit 3.1.2] RedNet Not Working URGENT

Whenever I try to type a RedNet command into the computer, it comes up with the error: "Program not found". This includes using the rednet.open("side") command, even when I have a modem on the computer, so I can't connect to RedNet even if it DID work. When I use the command gps.locate, it turns the wireless modem on. This is the only way I can do it, so I really need a solution. We have a big project than we want to complete on my server, and if I can't get the modems working, then it will not work. By the way: I am running Mac OSX 10.7.5, and the problem exists on my server and on singleplayer. It also doesn't work in the latest version of the Technic pack.

Were are you calling the rednet.open("side") from? I have a feeling you are calling it from the startup screen/when you open a computer. You need to use it in lua() or in a file

If you define "calling" typing the command in and pressing enter, then yes. I don't know what you mean by the rest, does it mean I have to make a programs with rednet.open() in it?

Yes, you do have to make a file
edit <path>
and put rednet.open("side") in there

Okay, thanks for the help. Will the rest of the commands work then?

In the file you made with edit <path> yes

Thank you so much!

This probably should have been put in ask a pro, not bugs…
