What command do you use to load the packages? How do you know that Mathematica reads the packages if the functions are not defined? Do you get any error messages? Create a single text file, named test.m, with the contents f[x_] = x^2 Change the directory to where the file is using the SetDirectory[] command, and type << "test.m" What happens? Try typing ?f Is the function definition returned?
