  Jed uses an evalfile hook that slang calls when files are loaded.
It is here where jed's load path is used.  So, require does know about
this path, and if not, there is something wrong.  Do you have an
example where this fails?

It is on the TODO list-- perhaps I can work it into the next svn
checkin.  But that should not affect require.

I don't regard that as a bug.  SLpath_get_load_path returns the value
of the load path, and if it has not been set, the value is NULL.
