[Jprogramming] gotcha: "load" vs. "require" for "regex"

[Devon McCormick]

I just installed J 6.01 and the behavior gets better.

It still didn't behave nicely when I moved the "require" to the end of my
startup.ijs (in J 5.04).

It's not worth spending any more time on - especially since it goes away in
the
new version.

Thanks...
