TCL: syntax error in expression with "*"

I'm using tcl scripts in ns2 ( network simulator) through cygwin. It works fine , however, I downloaded an example when i run it , I got the following syntax error:

Code:
syntax error in expression with " *2" : unexpected operator *
while executing :
"expr $bw *2"
invoked from within:
"$ns duplex-link $n1 $n3 [expr  $bw *2] Mb [expr  $rtt_1 /2-1 ]ms DropTail"

I tried to comment this line to see if the error from something else, I got the error whenever there is a line with "*"

Any suggestions??Smilie

test(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   test(1)

Name
       test - test conditional expression

Syntax
       test expr
       [ expr ]

Description
       The  command  evaluates the expression expr.  If the value of expr is true, the command returns a zero exit status; otherwise, it returns a
       nonzero exit status.  The command also returns a nonzero exit status if no arguments are specified.

Options
       The following primitives are used to construct expr:

       -r file		   Tests if the file exists and is readable.

       -w file		   Tests if the file exists and is writable.

       -f file		   Tests if the file exists and is not a directory.

       -d file		   Tests if the file exists and is a directory.

       -s file		   Tests if the file exists and has a size greater than zero.

       -t [ fildes ]	   Tests if the open file, whose file descriptor number is fildes (1 by default), is associated with a terminal device.

       -z s1		   Tests if the length of string s1 is zero.

       -n s1		   Tests if the length of the string s1 is nonzero.

       s1 = s2		   Tests if the strings s1 and s2 are equal.

       s1 != s2 	   Tests if the strings s1 and s2 are not equal.

       s1		   Tests if s1 is not the null string.

       n1 -eq n2	   Tests if number1 equals number2.

       n1 -ge n2	   Tests if number1 is greater than or equal to number2.

       n1 -gt n2	   Tests if number1 is greater than number2.

       n1 -le n2	   Tests if number1 is less than or equal to number2.

       n1 -lt n2	   Tests if number1 is less than number2.

       n1 -ne n2	   Tests if number1 is not equal to number2.

       These primitives can be combined with the following operators:

       !expr		   Negates evaluation of expression.

       expr -a expr	   Tests logical and of two expressions.

       expr -o expr	   Tests logical or of two expressions.

       ( expr... )	   Groups expressions.

       The -a operator takes precedence over the -o operator.  Note that all the operators and flags are separate  arguments  to  Note	also  that
       parentheses are meaningful to the Shell and must be escaped.
