I don't know if that still works. But anyways, that seems hard to use effectively. A better approach is probably to create a new namespace (possibly one that shares some modules with another namespace if that is safe) and just reload the module there. </blockquote><div>Thanks for the tip Robby - a couple of follow up questions 1.  how do I use code from another namespace within the current namespace?  I can think of parameterizing current-namespace, but that means I would have to remember which function belongs in which namespace... 2. does the namespace (and the loaded module) gets garbage collected automatically if I delete the reference to them? </div></div> Thanks, yc
