You don't want to do that. Instead, do this:

  (require (lib "file.ss" "my own collection"))

Require is smart enough to look int the compiled directory, and will
use the compiled file if it is there, and if it is newer than the .ss
file.

Otherwise, it sounds like you've got everything just right.

That is not the behavior that I see. In my DrScheme, it leaves the
language setting along unless there is just a single module in the
file.

Can you try this experiment? Set your language to something other than
the module language. Open that file. Do you get the module language?

Perhaps there is some other state that affects your interactions
window drscheme that is missing from your explanation? That would be
helpful to me if you could figure out what it is, but the above
descriptoin doesn't seem to match what happens for me.

Chongkai: same for your earlier message. Can you provide some more
information that would help me understand what's happening?

Thanks,
