Hi,

Sorry for not answering sooner.

rr(Atom) is essentially the same as rr(code:which(Atom)).

Instead of 'rr("long_path_to_a_header_file")' it is often convenient to
call 'rr(Module)' (Module an atom) where Module includes the header file.

An example: instead of
    rr("/usr/local/lib/erlang/lib/xmerl-1.1.5/include/xmerl.hrl").
one can do
    rr(xmerl).
