Ahh!

>>>show console
console			serial

I have more fun when I set this to graphics (I did need to power cycle to get it
to pick up the new setting though).

SRM now also prints a version string and gives me the >>> prompt when then
machine is switched on. Previously I saw no version string (it was going to the
serial port I guess) and I had to type C-x to get the prompt. I didn't
understand this, until now.

Many thanks for your help.
