Not an error, just the option-arrow moves the insertion point up a line

Ok, I misunderstood how to use the +, ++ etc. I now see that it does work, it simply needs a RETURN afterwards. But you do not see what line is being accessed until after the eval.

This produces no output when I open CCL.

This was helpful. I found a bug in the init file where a curly quote had crept in.

I can now load the init file using load. I see the output of the print expression. Then the opt-arrow(s) work fine. But they no longer work when I restart CCL. 

This seems to tell me that the init file is not being loaded at start-up. I wonder – is this option somehow turned off in my install?
