I don't know how to use use-modules in this situation. I'm not trying to load a module that has been prepared as a file. I tried
(load "/usr/local/src/guile-scmutils/src/load.scm") (use-modules generic-environment) and (load "/usr/local/src/guile-scmutils/src/load.scm") (use-modules 'generic-environment) and (load "/usr/local/src/guile-scmutils/src/load.scm") (use-modules (generic-environment)) in my .guile file, but none of them work. Is there a way to take a module object like generic-environment and write it to a file that could be loaded with use-modules? Scott N.

Hi Scott, Can you for some reason not use use-modules? Regards, Jon Scott N.
