Correction.  Instead of

recentFiles = [file1, file2, ...]

the set method writes:

recentFiles = ['file1' 'file2' ...]

so it is strings of the form "['file1' 'file2' ...]" that must be
converted to a list of strings. The ellipses do not actually appear
anywhere, but I had to indicate "and so on" somehow.  Clear enough?
