Answering my own problem here.
I've just searched through the mailing list archives and it seems that
if I add [instance=doublefun] I do not get the Arithmetic Overflow
error. Joy!
Thanks

Thank you Wolfgang!
I thought it must be simple! And if I had stayed the course and got to
the end of the MetaFun manual I would have found it.
Thanks for your help.

This is the standard way to install "apps" on a mac, which have an

other options be used with followtext e.g. \input file?
I'm a complete novice with MetaFun so any advice appreciated.
