Hi Lin Xiao,

At the command line, you must type only:

optical

without the <e2.dat
the < operator has the effect of pasting the file into the standard
input stream of the program. This is where you were supposed to type
in the "1".
Now, optical will ask the question:
>  Do you want to include a Drude term?
>  This is typically needed for metals
>  if yes: enter 1, if no: enter 0
and you may enter 1.

Cheers,
Marty
