[SI-LIST] Simple H-Spice Question

I am trying to simulate a simple lossless transmission line driving a
resistive load, no reflections, etc. I know the Z0, the line length,
the risetime and the TD. I want to have control over the number of
T-Line segments...This is an academic prob. and I am a newbie at
H-Spice...

I am using the lossless transmission line model for H-Spice:

T1 100 0 180 Z0 = 70.7 TD = 7070p L = 10c

I found in the manuals where you can add to the end of the above line
the following: "model lumps=10 L=10c" and it will allow you to control
the number of T-line segments....

The way I understand it, the simulator basically takes the initial
info. and figures out the total L and C, the correct number of
segments and the subsequent values of L and C at that segment number,
but you can override this with "model lumps=10 L=10c".

I can't get it to work with or without the "model lumps=10 L=10c". Am
I doing something wrong? This is such a simple problem...I must be
missing something incredibly obvious...
