Hi! I'd like to use functions from other packages in my own package. How to do this? I've tried: BeginPackage["TestPackage`",{"Statistics`ContinuousDistributions`"}] TestFunction::usage = "TestFunction[<list>]" Begin["`Private`"]; TestFunction[list_]:= { Mean[list] } End[]; EndPackage[] The problem is, that Mean is not known in the Testfunction or - if the testfunction is declared outside private - I got the error-msg that Mean is shadowed by other packages. Trying to use Statistics`ContinuousDistributions`Mean[list] doesn't work either. Any suggestions? Thanks, marko
