You can load abstractions this way too: [library/myabs]. Help patches should work, there is a bug in 0.39 that I aim to fix in 0.40. > [import library] imports the whole library into global namespace, > including help patches and other abs (usually, although I have often > found this broken in Extended).

I am aiming to have this all fixed up for the 0.40.3- extended release at the end of the month, then this will be all clearer in my head.
