Coq

At this moment I am just trying to run the code in the Coq Tutorial...

The following e-script, corresponding to the section "Existential Quantification" of the tutorial, is not working as it should:

*;; (find-coqv81w3m "tutorial.html#htoc12" "Sections and signatures")
* (eepitch-coqtop)
* (eepitch-kill)
* (eepitch-coqtop)
Reset Initial.
Section Predicate_calculus.
Variable D : Set.
Variable R : D -> D -> Prop.
Section R_sym_trans.
Hypothesis R_symmetric : forall x y:D, R x y -> R y x.
Hypothesis R_transitive : forall x y z:D, R x y -> R y z -> R x z.
Lemma refl_if : forall x:D, (exists y, R x y) -> R x x.
Check ex.
intros x x_Rlinked.
intro y.

Here is its log:
