In general, this isn't were you want to put packages you want to evaluate or use occasionally. I suggest putting the package in the directory returned by evaluating $UserBaseDirectory. >Would there be a better way to upload .nb into my system? There is a significant difference between .nb files and .m files. In general, you will want to open .nb using the File->Open menu item in the front end. But you will want to load .m files using Get or Needs. >How should I upload notebooks and then access them in Mathematica. In >my present sitatuation it would seem to be ><<`otter.m This is close to correct syntax. What you want would be <<otter` rather than what you wrote. An equivalent would be Get["otter`"] alternatively, Needs["otter`"] >Solution: >I placed otter.m in the autoloads directory then called it in >notebook BeginPackage[`otter.m] >Fine. No, not fine. BeginPackage is not used to load a package. Instead it is used to set up a context where you can create a package. This is definitely not what you want to do when evaluating a package. -- To reply via email subtract one hundred and four
