still 'import' problems

Hi louters, 

After changing to newer version of Lout, I also experienced
problems with some basic symbols like @B ... not being recognised
(as their definition moved to different files).

I added the import clause as suggested on the mailing-list
but I still can't get the symbols. 

What am I doing wrong ?


1) 'mydefs' starts with lines:

import @BasicSetup
def @FT  right x {  @B FT [ x ] }


2) lout runs:

Basser Lout Version 3.17 (September 1999)
Basser Lout written by:      Jeffrey H. Kingston (address@hidden)
Free source available from:  ftp://ftp.cs.usyd.edu.au/jeff/lout
This executable compiled:    13:54:51 Feb  8 2000
System include directory:    /usr/local/lib/lout/include

mydefs:21:26: symbol @B unknown or misspelt
mydefs:23:27: fatal error: exiting now
make: *** [sar] Error 1


3) I did: grep "def @B" 
...
/usr/local/lib/lout/include/bsf:def @BasicSetup
/usr/local/lib/lout/include/bsf:    def @B   right x { Bold @Font x             
        }
/usr/local/lib/lout/include/bsf:    def @BI  right x { BoldSlope @Font x        
        }
...

4) all.lt starts with:

@SysInclude { eq }
@SysInclude { tab }
@SysInclude { fig }
address@hidden { mybook }
@Include { mybook_v317 }
@Book
    @Title { ...



What's wrong ? Any suggestions ?

Thanks in advance
Robert


ps:
I have the new version installed/compiled in /usr/local
The old version is also on the machine in its usual install
directories (Debian). 
But the Lout's include files are not using
any absolute references, aren't they ?
