You are quoting the entry but including a , before the concat. That indicates that instead of the quote ', you need to use a backquote ` to allow the comma to evaluate the (concat ...) expression at definition time. I checked the webpage you refer to and there is a backquote there, so I can only surmise that you changed it by mistake recently. Nick
