								Compiles to disk and then loads to memory a source file or a list of source files using the default compiler flags specified in the Logtalk configuration file. The Logtalk file name extension (by default, < code > .lgt< / code > ) must be omitted. Note that the argument is a source file name or a list of source file names, not file paths. In other words, the files must exist in the current working directory, unless library notation is used.
