Everything is not working?

Hey guys,
I'm new to the ComputerCraft forums, but I was really stumped on my problem.

The problem is, most of my commands just DONT work.
eg. "rednet.open(left)" returns "rednet:313: string expected:
"rs.setOutput(left, true)" returns "lua:43: bad argument, string expected, got nil)"

its the same with many other commands and i know its not my code. i have spell check numerous times and its all fine.
I appreciate any help that i get, this has really stumped me :(/> i was working on a email username+password login and this has stopped me in my tracks

im on Tekkit 3.1.3 / MC 1.2.5

PS. my turtles have never worked either. turtle.forward() returns false, same with any other movement functions.

Thanks alot,
Luke

3 Things:

#1 Sorry Bukkit builds are not supported however I'm going to suggest 2 things
#2 Reinstall Tekkit
#3 Reinstall CC in the mods folder.

As for movement if memory serves Tekkit updated to a hack and have a weird version of CC1.4 so the turtles may need fuel to move.

If none of this works its a Bukkit ( yes Tekkit is Bukkit ) bug and nothing Dan or Cloudy will fix…

Yes, or something that doesn't use Bukkit. Like Feed The Beast Pack.

Use " around the side, sorry I didn't see that earlier. Example:
rednet.open("right")

You feel stupid…… No need. I've been helping people in "Ask a Pro" like crazy today and still didn't see it. It happens sometimes. :)/>/>
