this simple task (suppose to) wasted my whole weekend. I still can't
figure out what I did wrong. I keep getting this error message when I
click on "submit" button:

Go back and fix these errors:
nscheck: RP TXT field is missing

So I click on back, and double check again and again the PP TXT field,
can't find anything wrong.. here is my file:

-----
; Name Servers

coolnow.com.  IN  NS ns1.granitecanyon.com.
coolnow.com.  IN  NS ns2.granitecanyon.com.

coolnow.com.  IN  RP hotister at hotmail.com.

hotister.coolnow.com.    IN  TXT "T.T. Lee, NIC handle: TT309"

; addresses for the canonical names
; Many emailers expect the name localhost to exist
; in a domain with this specific, reserved address.
; 127/8 or 127/255.0.0.0 is the address of LOOPBACK-NET
; 127.0.0.1 is reserved to mean this host on the LOOPBACK-

localhost.coolnow.com.   IN  A  127.0.0.1

; The IP addresses below are reserved for networks

And I read the FAQ again and again, here is what it said:

=======
nscheck: RP TXT field is missing
RP records are always of the following format:
<name.zone.top-level-zone> IN RP <email address> <TXT RR name>

where:
<name.zone.top-level-zone> is the name of the record
<email address> is an email address in DNS format (with the @ replaced
by dots)
<TXT RR name> is the name of an associated TXT record with additional
contact information about the human being who can respond to problems
with this zone. Usually this includes a telephone number and/or a NIC
handle, as assigned by the appropriate registrar (InterNic, ARIN, RIPE
or APNIC.) These NIC handles are not the same as your userid, and
cannot be made up.
========
According to the "example" provide by granitecanyon.com, this is what
it should look like:

; Name Servers

coffee.com.  IN  NS ns1.granitecanyon.com.
coffee.com.  IN  NS ns2.granitecanyon.com.

; multiple RP records authorize others to submit zone changes
; from the email address in the first field after the RP
; This email address is in DNS-email format. That is,
; the '@' (at-sign) is replaced by '.' (dot or period.)

coffee.com.  IN  RP juan.tea.com. Juan.Valdez.coffee.com.
coffee.com.  IN  RP juanita.tea.com. Juanita.Valdez.coffee.com.

Juan.Valdez.coffee.com.    IN  TXT "Juan Valdez,    NIC handle: JUAN123"
Juanita.Valdez.coffee.com. IN  TXT "Juanita Valdez, RIPE NIC handle:
JUANITA"

; MX records

; These direct mail delivery agents, like sendmail,
; at hosts which have agreed to accept email for us.

; This assumes that we've arranged with tea.com and
; uu.net to provide this email service for us in
; advance for coffee.com.

; The token 'EXTREF' directs nslint to allow external references.
; The token 'GLOBALOK' directs nslint to allow global records.

; MX records for a host to be treated specially
navy.coffee.com.  IN  MX  10  mail1.tea.com.	; EXTREF
navy.coffee.com.  IN  MX  20  mail2.tea.com.	; EXTREF
navy.coffee.com.  IN  MX  100 mail.uu.net.	; EXTREF

; global MX records for unspecified members of the zone
