Dear Roland,
Thank you very mach, that was the Problem and I have now the solution. I
have edit/wrote and saved the package as a Notebook in the file
"Poisson.m" . One must edit/write or save the Packages as a normal text
file.
Best regard, Ossama
-------------------------------------
Its a bug (or a feature?) if you save a notebook in menu/ file /
special / package format.
Check your *.m file using a text editor. Probably you will find it
saved as a comment (* ... *).
