There's two answers here: one to the question you asked, and one to the
question you *should* have asked ;-)

1.  well in my system it's -libwarning- so:

    erase -> libwarning;

could do the trick.

2. Why are you using lib? In most cases you can substitute uses. Ie.:

    uses libwarning

instead of

    lib libwarning

The advantage to -uses- is that it checks (in a fairly mindless way
admittedly) to see if the library has already been loaded, and if it has
it doesn't try to load it again. In any case it works silently.

lib forces a reload every time (which may be useful - but rarely is).
