I have a Mathematica file containing code organized as a package. When I execute "Needs["FolderName`FileName`"] it appears that Mathematica is able to read the file FolderName:FileName.m, but I get this warning: Needs::nocont: the context FolderName`Filename` was not created. I am running Mathematica 3.0 on a Macintosh (Quadra). What didn't Mathematica like about my file? To forestall one possible answer, yes I did begin the file with BeginPackage["FolderName`FileName`"]; and yes "Needs" works as expected on files in the Standard Packages folder. I note that some of the cells in my file are curiously marked: the cell brackets have, near the top, a diagonal line slanting northwest to southeast. What does this mean? -- Christopher J.
