Excellent thank you.  To note I am searching the docs but I see I did not 
scroll far enough.  I went to go find string-prefix in the doc and also found 
string-contains and string-suffix in the same set of examples.

So you gave me an inadvertent trifecta of useful information.

It also means that where the original code was used as part of a filter 
(lambda(x) expression I should be able to ditch the extra function and just 
handle as a filter (string-prefix.
