Brian As you remarked earlier gtkwd.ijs is missing, which is why the require fails at the beginning of pousse.ijs. This doesn't fix your problem but at least explains it. I suppose my problem lies elsewhere. fyi, the ~ symbol is resolved in jpath.
Seems like definitions in stdlib.ijs and elsewhere need changing so people dont waste time on stuff like this. The script function looks like a good place to start. (same applies to scriptd) I wonder what others think.
