How to include a Maple procedure file?

I have a procedure that I use frequently. I tried to include this procedure in other Maple sessions so that I can reuse that procudure. I tried the command $include but received the following error message:

$include "c:/myworks/myplot.wm"

Error, unexpected string
 

where myplot.wm is a file that contains a procedure which I want use repeatedly.  What is wrong there?

 

Thanks.

$include is a preprocessor directive. It works only in command line maple for files read from the stdin, see ?preprocessor.

If your myplot.wm is in correct Maple input format, then it should have a correct extension, such as .mpl, for example. It can be read using read command.

A better way of using it would be by adding it to your own Maple library, see ?LibraryTools.
