[molpro-user] new syntax for explicit dft exchange and correlation functionals?

Dear molpro users,

I am trying to do dft calculations with different explicit combinations of 
exchange and correlation functionals.  The following syntax worked in 
version 2002.6 but is unrecognized in version 2006.1:

df=[b,lyp]
ks

or

df=[pbexrev,vwn]
ks

In 2006.1, the response is:

  VARIABLE B UNDEFINED, ASSUMING 0
  VARIABLE LYP UNDEFINED, ASSUMING 0
  SETTING DF(1)          =          .00000000
  SETTING DF(2)          =          .00000000

and it starts to use the default functional, lda:

  Density functional group LDA=DIRAC+VWN5
  Functional: DIRAC(Automatically generated DIRAC) 
Gradient terms: 0

  Functional: VWN5(Automatically generated VWN5) 
Gradient terms: 0
  Functional: DIRAC                     Factor:  1.0000
  Functional: VWN5                      Factor:  1.0000

Can anybody please point out what the correct syntax is for version 
2006.1?

Thank you,
Garold Murdachaew

ps: The example on the molpro website also shows this exact problem 
nicely:
