## Module commands

There are many commands related to modules. Only the most commonly used module commands are described here; documentation for the rest can be found in the module chapter. There is also a brief description of modules, structures, and packages below.

  `,open `structure ...``
  Makes the bindings in the `structure`s visible in the current package. The packages associated with the `structure`s will be loaded if this has not already been done (the `ask-before-loading` switch can be used disable the automatic loading of packages).

  `,config [`command`]`
  Executes `command` in the `config` package, which includes the module configuration language. For example, use

  >     ,config ,load filename

  to load a file containing module definitions. If no `command` is given, the `config` package becomes the execution package for future commands.

  `,user [`command`]`
  This is similar to the `,config`. It moves to or executes a command in the user package (which is the default package when the Scheme 48 command processor starts).
