[Fluxus] .fluxus.scm not being read on startup

Hi Gabor!

Apologies for the late reply.

It is the binary from the site.

It is in my home directory and permission seem to be fine:

jsilence at fluxus-airport ~ % ls -la .fluxus.scm
-rw-r--r--  1 jsilence  staff  511 13 Jan 11:45 .fluxus.scm


My home directory is symlinked to another disk:

jsilence at fluxus-airport /Users % ls -la
total 8
drwxr-xr-x   6 root     admin   204 13 Okt 22:24 ./
drwxrwxr-t  36 root     admin  1292 15 Jan 08:36 ../
-rw-r--r--   1 root     wheel     0  1 Jul  2009 .localized
drwxrwxrwt   7 root     wheel   238 16 Jan 17:57 Shared/
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root     admin    27 13 Okt 22:23 jsilence@ -> /Volumes/Zeo/Users/jsilence
drwxr-xr-x+ 15 nutcase  staff   510 16 Jan 17:51 nutcase/

The home directory of the "nutcase" user is not symlinked and there I have the same issue. 


Also when I load files from within Fluxus the directory that is being opened is /Applications/Fluxus.app/Contents/Ressources.  So I always have to dig myself through to my home directory to find my files. As a workaround I symlinked my fluxus-files directory into that folder. Not nice, but at least I need less steps to load files.


I am also struggling with loading a file into another one. I'd like to separate some of my functions into a util.scm file which I'd load into another source file. I'm fiddling around with require/provide and racked/include, but nothing works. How do I externalize my reusable functions into a separate file?


Best regards and sorry for my newbie questions...
