I am having trouble with DynAPI.include(). I know ways of working around 
it, but I'd really like to figure out what I am doing wrong. (Currently 
using Win98SE, IE5.5)

As an example, I have been looking at Jeff Greenberg's Slider widget. No 
matter what I try, I cannot get the SliderDemo.html example to run without 
fiddling with the includes. No matter where I put the code, I always get 
the error message "Slider is not defined" (which, as I understand 
JavaScript's error messages, means that the file slider.js is not being 
loaded successfully.

I have tried all sorts of variations, but nothing works. I've also checked 
the tutorials and API documentation and the code in  dynapi.,js, without 
finding enlightenment.

The relevant code from the HTML file is

DynAPI.setLibraryPath('../../dynapi/src/lib/')
DynAPI.include('dynapi.api.*')
DynAPI.include('slider.js','./');

I assume from this that the HTML file and the slider.js file should be in a 
directory two levels below the main DYNAPI directory. If I put them 
anywhere else, I get worse problems (dynapi.js not loaded). However, I 
cannot find anywhere to put them within this constraint that works. Perhaps 
my assumption that slider.js and the html file should be in the same 
directory is the problem. I figure the path "./" refers to the starting 
directory containing the html file, but maybe not. I have tried a few other 
ideas, but no luck.

I understand how DynAPI.include works with one parameter, but I have 
obviously not grasped what it is doing when there are two parameters.

Thanks for any help.
