Andrei - I appreciate your help, the info you gave me led me to do some experimenting. What I found was that I did not have $HOME/.hgrc file, so I created one ! It now seems to be OK. I am a bit confused, I didn't erase this file and as I said in the original post I've been using the same procedure for years.
Thanks again Bob.
