Rick:
In Mma 3.0 we can do the following sort of thing
(1) Automatically save you definitions in a package:
Make a definition (you need not evaluate it)
double[x_]:= {x,x}
Select this cell; make it an initialization cell (use Cell/Cell
Properties/ Initialization Cell)
Save notebook, including the following steps in the procedure:
name it MGExample,
click to save (you will get a panel asking if you wish to
make a package containing all the initialization cells);
click Create.
(2) Test that this works
Open a new notebook
Clear[double] (*to ensure that double is not defined*)
<<MGExample`
double[5]
{5,5}
