Vectors are entered using angle brackets, e.g., <0,3,-2>, not [0,3,-2].  In
Vector context, brackets act like parentheses, which is why the message says
you have entered a point not a vector.

One solution would be to change the context so that brackets form vectors as
well.  There is also an answer-checker flag that promotes points to vectors, so
that could also be used.
