Did you type "(" and ")", too? I'll presume you didn't.
Suppose the file name is foo. What happens when you do the following:
emacs foo
emacs -q foo
emacs -q --no-site-file foo
If the problem is there with the first command but disappears with the
second command, there is an error in ~/.emacs. If the problem
disappears with the third command, there is an error in site-start.el
or default.el.
If the second or third command line make the problem go away, I
suggest searching the file in question for the string "$Author" and to
comment out the line where the string is. (By putting a ";" character
in the beginning of the line.)
