Sorry that this is a really newbie question, but I can't seem to load any of the standard add on packages. Well, that's not really true... Let me explain. I wanted to play around with the graphics, so I evaluated: << Graphics'Polyhedra' Which should have loaded the package. However, the response I get back is: Get::noopen : Cannot open Graphics'Polyhedra'. This is the response I get back no matter what add on I try to load. The really odd thing is when I go into the help, and look in the add-on's book, and evaluate: <<DiscreteMath`CombinatorialFunctions` in the help browser itself. This works fine! I then go back to my notebook where I tried to load the polyhedra package, and strangely enough, it loads just fine as well... Obviously, I'm missing some initialization step, but I can't seem to find out what it is... If someone could help me out on this, I'd be much obliged. Oh, and if I could get a pointer to the docs where all this is cleared up, I'd be very grateful... Thanks, Hal
