Good! Just one small comment. Calling an unknown function (i.e., a function
which is in a package) before loading the appropriate package doesn't
"overwrite" the function in the package, as you say. It actually causes a
phenomenon called "shadowing", which you may read about in Sections 1.3.10
and 2.7.8 of The Book (see the on-line Help browser and search for
"shadowing" in the Master Index)

Exactly! I tried the package load before asking for help and it still didn't
work. After reading this (and other replies), I started a new test from
scratch and now it works. I didn't think about the local variable
overwriting the package variable.

Thanks for all the help y'all!
