You'd still need to load them in OREXX as well.  What's probably the case 
is that you loaded them in a previous session when you were using OREXX, 
but didn't when you rebooted to CREXX.

Putting the load in startup.cmd will work, but when you pass the code on, 
other people might run into problems.  I always put the function load at 
the top of every program, to avoid annoying problems later on.
