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,
