I'll take a look at it. Already I can tell it's not reentrant, and the paths don't preserve themselves when the script is done again like the script list does. Should be easy to fix... I designed the require function this way to be more bulletproof when run in a long-running, server environment. It may seem to be overkill for quick scripts, but even there the reentrancy is essential in a script dependencies manager. Would you prefer a single search path list, a default list with the option to specify more paths, the option for a replacement list, or specifying the list every time? I gave a lot of thought to the API since the function was written to be used by people who didn't know how to program well. Any subtleties in the style of intended usage should be reflected in the interface. Of course, require will need a rewrite when module support is added to REBOL. It would probably be made obsolete by a proper implementation of the Needs header option. The ongoing task... Brian Hawley

Nazdarek [brian--hawley--bigfoot--com] yes I know, but I made it as quick hack I needed so it looks not very nice and is not as clever as the rest of 'require. I have to think about it better - looking for newest versions in given paths instead of loading first found script , saving itself with new paths added... It will take time, but the WORD was said - someone NEEDS paths :)
