sorry for bugging you again :-), but this is not what we want. We don't need to preload assemblies that the user might not want. For example, in IronPython to access the System.Xml namespace you need to explicitly load System.Xml.dll by using one of the clr.LoadAssembly* methods. Moreover, what happens if I wanto to load an assembly that it's not on this list? And what if I load an assembly after the list of namespaces has already been computed? I think what you need to do is to maintain a cache of valid namespaces, and check whether a new assembly has been loaded every time you import something. You can easily get the list of currently loaded assemblies by calling AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies(). ciao Anto
