Hmm. What does file_search(coma) yield? What do you get if you
trace(file_search, batchload) ? I think you should see that file_search
finds coma.mac and then batchload is called with that location.

I speculate that a problem might (or might not) be that there is a
folder named coma as well as a file named coma.mac. Just a random
guess; something to look at.

I don't understand what you mean by loading it out of an existing wxm file.

Sorry I can't be more helpful,
