It works! Thanks a lot.

BTW, there is a different problem that does not seem to be related to the
previous one, where during installation of a planet package, an
error/warning message is shown in DrRacket saying

make-directory: forbidden (write) access to
C:\Users\aml\AppData\Roaming\Racket\planet....

In spite of the message, the package seems to be correctly installed. As a
result, I've been telling my students to ignore the message but, obviously,
it would be preferable if the message didn't show up.

Best,
António.
