Bingo! Many thanks both.
I had read the man page - but had not correctly interpretted it in relation to
inittab. I had never previously editted it except to alter the default run
level.
The one fly in the ointment is that tty1 didn't launch. Hopefully, for what I
am trying to achieve, it won't matter and I can shelve that problem for a
later day.
