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) Tomas Original Message: ----------------- From: Jackson jackson101 at hotmail.com To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net Subject: [mg46454] [mg46440] Re: No Output, No Error "Tomas Garza" <tgarza01 at prodigy.net.mx> wrote in message news:c0s7m0$sde$1 at smc.vnet.net... > If you have inadvertently tried to use the function before loading the package > you must remove it first. 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! -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .
