Using the Traverse Tool in ArcEditor 9.3.1

[CindyJones1]

I am using the traverse tool (direction-distance) successfully until a parcel is described as  55.39-2
I cannot add the direction of 55.39-2, 56.86 feet. 
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong. 
Thank you in advance

I figured it out. In editor, under options which is the editing options window on the units tab I was using quadrant bearing and direction units needed to be in decimal degrees, it was in degrees, minutes and seconds.
