 |Thank you - this was the issue. As you can see from this message it's
 |working fine now. I think I got a little confused reading the man page.

It is not stated, i see.  Well.  The development branch at least
opens with "the manual expects this context" regarding v15.  It is
a bit hard to do, you know, such a large manual with lots of
different topics, and then i do not read manuals top-down but
search for what i am currently interested in, maximally when i get
in contact with a new program i read in full, .. but that thing
changes over time.

And it is _still_ too large and not concise enough, even on the
development branch.  I mean, you have to "set" the variable, and
that is one of the COMMANDS, and commands have arguments which
need to be given in a specific fashion.

But i have reordered/tweaked the manual sections "A starter" and
"COMMANDS" a bit, so that the argument quoting is mentioned early
in both.  I have given you credit for that, too, with the mail
address you used here, i hope this is ok?

 |Yes, indeed. I turned off askcc and askbcc - just had these on while I

Ok.

 |Thank you very much for all your helpful advice. :-)

Sure.  A nice Christian Easter i wish.

Ciao from Germany,
