Subject: load_theory,print_theory and new_parent in hol90.6
Message-Id: <"i80fs2.ira.870:09.11.93.15.17.58"@ira.uka.de>

Dear all,
I'm totally confused about using my own theories in hol90.6.
(new_parent "my_own") fails after starting hol90.6. But
using (print_theory "my_own") and than using (new_parent "my_own")
does work. Strange things does happen with load_theory, too.
sometimes it works, sometimes not. I tried hard to get
a reproductive error, but it seemed ``randomly''.
(my theory path is set correctly)

So, could somebody please explain me everything around
dependency of theories within hol90.6 in respect of own
theories? Maybe it will help...

thanks in advance :)
