Thanks. So basically there's no way to convince \input to work
"properly" (that is: respecting some additional input path) in mkii?
(In mkiv it seems to work, but it could be that that's just because it
interacts with its own "kpathsea".)

But then I have another question. I actually wanted to use that inside
a module (gnuplot) that uses something like

    \processmyfile[#1][#2]{
        ....
        \readlocfile{#2}{}{}
        ....
    }

I wish I remembered why I decided for \readlocfile (I guess it was for
error handling that is still waiting to be implemented). How should I
change the module in this particular case? (What should I use instead
of \readlocfile, so that the file will be found?)

Thank you,
