This sounds very strange! I know this works. Here is a simple script
that uses this and that I just succecfully have run on my computer.

ns simulation script

This script will create the following senario:
        ____                      ____  
       /    \	                 /    \
      /      \                  /      \      
      |  0   | ---------------- |   1  |    
      \	     /		        \      /
       \____/                    \____/

     red circle			blue circle  

(With some imagnination you can see the my ASCCII drawing portray two
circles (nodes) with a line (link) between them ;-) )

However the link is black even though I used  
$ns duplex-link-op $node(0) $node(1) color "yellow" as suggested by Haobo.

If you can't run my script without problems maybe your version of ns/nam is
and older and buggier one! 

Hope this helps.
