Ah, yes, that's the problem.  That uses Racket's native require, which
only loads modules once unless instructed otherwise.  To do what you
want in the REPL, you need to tell geiser to reevaluate the buffer when
you change it, using C-c C-k in the racket buffer.

It would go more or less like this:

1) in the REPL do a (require "foo.rkt")
2) Now go to the buffer and edit it.  Then evaluate the new version
   with either C-c C-k for the whole file, or C-c C-e or C-M-x for
   individual expressions.
3) Go back to the REPL:
4a) If you didn't change the export clasue in foo.rkt, got back to the
   REPL and use the new values of the exported identifiers.
4b) I you change the export list, do a require again.  Use the new
  identifiers  and the new values of the old ones.


Does that help?
