Group, Situation -- I am using a package "SubscriptSymbols" in a notebook, with the statement: Needs["Utilities`SubscriptSymbols`"]; -- This package is not standard with mathematica, and I have the package file (SubscriptSymbols.m) sitting in the directory D:\Apps\Wolfram Research\Mathematica\AddOns\ExtraPackages\Utilities where it seems to be found automatically by Mathemetica when the Needs statement is executed. -- I want to run the notebook on a remote computer, but I do not have the ability to put the SubscriptSymbols.m file in the appropriate mathematica directory. I must have the SubscriptSymbols.m file in the same directory as the notebook that uses it. Question -- How can I load the package from a specified working directory that is not part of the context paths known by mathematica? I've tried adding path info within the needs statement but that does not work. Thanks, Lee Newman
