thx for the great explanation, matt!
it all worked perfectly according to your instruction, though i had
erred setting up the module initially. once i rewrote it as follows:

(module utils racket
  (provide rp)

  (define (rp ostr lst)
    (apply format ostr lst)))

as per 6.2 module_syntax

instead of the way it is for 6.1 module_basics:

(provide rp)

(define (rp ostr lst)
  (apply format ostr lst)))

which seems to be for a file to which you provide a direct path as in
(require "utils.rkt")


many thanks!
