Possible error in character details data

Hi, all-

When I look at the stroke order for 收 (shou1), the radical is reported to be something which resembles 支 (zhi1). According to my paper Collins Chinese dictionary, this radical is only used with a very few words, notably 敲 (qiao1). Shouldn't the radical for 收 really be the right side of this character, the hand-holding-a-stick radical?

I'm using v2.0.4 of the Windows Mobile product.

It's actually not 支 but rather 攴 - a subtle difference, but 攵 and 攴 are linguistically the same thing and if you look at the radical table for either one you'll see characters listed for both. (both are KangXi radical 66)

- yes, I was aware of that, but the primitive IME I use can't produce that character, it seems, so I had to show something similar. Thanks for the education about this radical.
