Thanks Nick.
The set type to double is more like an example but appreciate you
pointing this out to me.
Would you mind elaborating in a simple example of how I could set up

Also, apart from doing -set XXX - what other options can be specified
in this file? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks again,
Lisa
