Hi Don,

is the directory of your Borders.m in the $Path list ? If not and say it
is in

/export/home/russell/Mathematica/Packages

You must add 

AppendTo[$Path,"/export/home/russell/Mathematica/Packages"]

On MS-Windows you may have your packages in 

d:\Mathematica\Packages

and the line

AppendTo[$Path,"c:\\Mathematica\\Packages"]

may help.


Hope that helps
  Jens
