Thanks to everyone who emailed suggestions about loading packages. Unfortunately, everyone thought the solution was to put the package in the right folder or use the right pathname. Let me explain a little more. Among the files in my Packages folder, there is one named test.m and one named tost.m. They are identical (cut and paste) except for the first line. test.m begins with BeginPackage[ "test`" ] and tost.m begins with BeginPackage[ "tost`" ]. I can load test.m and access the function it contains. I can't load tost.m. In[1]:= Needs[ "tost`" ] Needs::nocont: Warning:Context tost` was not created when Needs was evaluated. I don't know if this is a clue or not, but with the packages I can load, I get the dialog box asking me if I want to initialize the notebook whenever I open the notebook. With the packages I can't load, I get no dialog box when I open the notebook. I'm baffled. -- Bob Hall | "Know thyself?
