That's not really a feasible solution. It would imply finding which  
dynamic predicates are declared and which dynamic predicates are  
defined in a file (before reloading it) in order to use, as you  
suggest, retract_all/1 or abolish/1. It would be possible/easy to  
modify the behavior of compile/1 to match the behavior of most Prolog  
compilers when reloading a file? I.e. to "reset" the dynamic  
predicates with the original file definitions, as already done for  
static predicates?

All the best,

Paulo

P.S. Regarding the recent discussions on compling ECLiPSe on MacOS X  
Intel: I can get you an account on a MacPro for you to ssh and do/ 
check the porting work.
