+\subsection*{Problem with Loading Dynamically Files}
+
+There seems to be cache problems with loading dynamically files in the REPL.
+For example in the file \code{thompson.sc}, the code for DFAs, NFAs etc is 
+loaded using:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=none,language=Scala]
+import $file.dfa, dfa._ 
+import $file.nfa, nfa._
+import $file.enfa, enfa._
+\end{lstlisting}%$
+
+\noindent The menace is that all works perfectly in the first REPL session,
+but if you close it and then re-open it for example the next day, you 
+receive the following error when you try to re-evaluate the same lines:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=none,language=Scala]
+-- [E008] Not Found Error: ~/cfl-material/progs/automata/nfa.sc:50:2

+  |
+  | longer explanation available when compiling with `-explain`

+\end{lstlisting}%$\medskip
+
+\noindent\textbf{Fix:} The code again runs absolutely fine when called on the
+commandline. But the REPL trips over. In this case, the trick with using the 
+Scala REPL does not work, because it does not support dynamically loading
+files. However, one ugly fix is to cut-and-paste all the code into a 
+single file and then develop this one gigantic file. Or a slightly
+less ugly solution is toi clear out the cache of ammonite. The cache
+on my system is located in 
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[language={},numbers=none]
+~/.ammonite/cache/3.0.3/
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+\noindent
+I usually delete all files inside this directory and in this way force 
+ammonite to be in a consistent state.
