Thank you for that. I was wondering how I could proceed if no one had met my error message before.

I used emacs a lot in the past but not for a long time. I find now that the things that are easier are the ones that have been most used recently. Still, you've shown me how to get into and out of emacs and the rest can come from the tutorial: particularly if I write it down.

Many thanks,
