Thank you for your reply.

I did originally have that line ... or at least I thought I did! That
line appeared not to work which is why I was puzzled and went on to use
eval setq. I can only assume that I originally inserted a typo
somewhere.

All is now working satisfactorily.

Thank you for your help. Next time I'll double check for typos.

Best wishes,
