Hi Amelia,
How did you try to load the file?
I guess you are using  the notebook.
There it is possible to load a file with
load('<absolute_path>').

If you are using the command line version you can also use
run <absolute or relative path>
or
run -i <absolute or relative path>
for running your script in the actual namespace.

Cheers..
