Hi,
Not sure I can help; I don't quite see how this error could be caused
by anything in the code I sent you. Is this happening on the same
system as you used before? What version of Emacs are you on when this
happens?
Yours,
Christian

Thanks. I got it to work from a scratch buffer but not from .emacs
(previous version worked fine from my .emacs). Restarting emacs
showed an error.

To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the
cause of the error in your initialization file. Start Emacs with
the `--debug-init' option to view a complete error backtrace.

I couldn't copy the whole backtrace here (an encoding issue?) Here's
the start and end of it in case it's any help:
