Thank you --- now I understand and I have it working.

I was misled by the fact that explicitly running that package made it work and so I just assumed it had been found but (of course) running the package just pulled in those functions to the system.

I guess it would be nice if paths could be set from the Settings dialog.

For Needs to work, first verify that FindFile can find the package And for that to work, verify that the package is in one of the directories listed in $Path or modify $Path to include the location where you have it. That is a dollar sign followed by Path. It is next to impossible to type it here for some reason.
