Q: About Needs[] and something about Contexts

If I want to use a package (say mypack.m) in a library not in  the
$Path, placed in some arbitrary library say: D:\putte\kelso how do I
tell Mathematica4 using Needs[], to load it?
I have tried lots of combinations e.g.
Needs["D:\\putte\\kelso" , "mypack`" ] etc.... etc....
And also consulted the help database and the mathematica book.


I know I can move the package to e.g. ...D:\progs\mma401\AddOns witch is
in the $Path but that is not the issue here.
I use Mathematica4 Win Nt4.0 .
Ideas?

Best regards
Peter W
