LOL Alastair, we all fall into the same trap at one time or another. While I do find bugs in RBASE (ALL programs have bugs!), most problems are of my own making. I save valuable time but making that assumption until I can prove otherwise.
I like to say that a programmer's lot is to be embarrassed at least 5 times a day! It comes with the territory!

It was too late last night to try this but, this morning, just to prove myself right, I copied and pasted Mike's example. Of course it worked. It is nice to be wrong sometimes but I thought that I had better test some of my old keymaps as they were the things I had been unable to get to work many months, even years, ago now. Of course they worked, too. I seem to remember that the problem I had was with spaces in the "command" so, using Mike's example, I would have expected just to get "pause" written at the R:>. Now I need to go back and reinstate the keymaps that would still be useful for me so thank you Mike for tempting me and thank you and apologies to RBTI for doubting that the problem - if there ever was one - had been fixed.
