Mea culpa. Yes, should have clarified. And the important thing in Neil's

Spaces shouldn't matter...
When you say "nothing happened" what do you mean? If it returned to the
prompt that is not necessarily a bad sign... it has probably worked...

It seems to me that the first thing to do after loading a new release is
to go through all the settings etc. to see what has changed and what the
effect, if any, of those changes would be.
