Steve,
If the package you want to load is called "ConvexHull.m" (no "3D" in the
name) then you must use the exact name of the file without its
extension. Any of the following expressions should work:
<< ConvexHull`
<< "ConvexHull`"
Needs["ConvexHull`"]

If the file ConvexHull.m is located in this directory, you should not to
have to load it manually since it must be already there (it is
automatically loaded whenever Mathematica starts).
