I have put another release candidate for 0.6.5 on the ftp server at

<ftp://ftp.scsh.net/pub/scsh/0.6/scsh-0.6.5-rc3.tar.gz>

The new version includes the -lel command line option for loading an
exec script from the library path and checks that SEEK is called with
an unbuffered port. Please test with your favorite scsh programs!

The options for loading exec scripts suffer from the restriction that
the system does not record the directory where the script is loaded
from. This will not come as a surprise for anybody familiar with
exec scripts:

[0 gasbichl@ventoux scsh-0.6.5] cat scheme/prescheme/load.scm
; Copyright (c) 1993-1999 by Richard Kelsey and Jonathan Rees. See file COPYING.

; To load Pre-Scheme, do
;   ,exec ,load <this file>

(config)
(load "interface.scm")
(load "package-defs.scm")

[0 gasbichl@ventoux scsh-0.6.5] ./go
Welcome to scsh 0.6.5 (RC 3)
Type ,? for help.

> ,exec ,load scheme/prescheme/load.scm
scheme/prescheme/load.scm

Error: exception
       cannot-open-channel
       (open-channel "interface.scm" 1)

I hope we can change this in a future release but for now absolute
paths are recommended.
