A plugin defines a function named HLMarks():

    hi Marks term=reverse ctermfg=0 ctermbg=40 guibg=Grey40

    function! HLMarks(group)
        call clearmatches()
        let index = char2nr('a')
        while index < char2nr('z')
            call matchadd( a:group, '\%'.line( "'".nr2char(index)).'l')
            let index = index + 1
        endwhile
    endfunction

I want the HLMarks() function to run automatically every time vim opens a file.
The function works when I call it manually:

    :call HLMarks("Marks")

I added these two lines to the end of my vimrc:

    runtime plugin/markHL.vim
    HLMarks("Marks")

which got this error:

    E492: Not an editor command: HLMarks("Marks")

The first answer on 
http://vi.stackexchange.com/questions/2791/how-to-design-a-command-in-a-plugin-that-can-be-called-from-vimrc
 has a similar solution, but I couldn't get it to work.

How to automatically call the HLMarks("Marks") function when a file is opened?

The plugin's markHL.vim file is in my ~/.vim/plugin/ directory.

The ":function" command lists:

    function HLMarks(group)

The plugin is described on http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3394
and down loaded from http://www.vim.org/scripts/download_script.php?src_id=21611
