[racket] Finding files

Many thanks. I can give "(go)" in the interactions window and it works.

But to load serve.rkt I had to navigate to its folder.

I have not been able to find a succinct description how to cope with the 
Windows directory
system to make Racket find user-created files, either to run them as 
programs or open them
as data sources or destinations. Perhaps there is a particular directory 
where they have to be
for Racket to find them, and this can be set as a default in some way 
(environment variable
or whatever).

Regards
