The standard way to do this is to add a line to the init.m file. You 
should find that file under Package folder (directory). For example, 
suppose you want mma to load the package for implicit plot automatically 
upon startup, add this like Needs["Graphics`ImplicitPlot`"] to your 
init.m file. Don't forget to make it an initialization cell.  Read p.747 
of your mma book.

I don't know exactly where, but there are certainly packages for it. You 
might want to check out the book: Partial Differential Equations with 
Mathematica by Dimitri Vvedensky. Addison-Wesley, 1993. Or, look for them 
in MathSource. (mathsource at wri.com)
