Command not found when calling a skill function from a menu

ttkka

I can run a skill function from the command line but not from a menu.
Running from the menu, I get "command not found: skill_function"

Do I need to do something else so that this function can be seen?
the .il file is placed in the %CDS_SITE%\PCB\skill folder and I have axlCmdRegister("skill function" 'skill_function)

Thanks

    You need to load it first. You can do this by including an autoload command in your allegro.ilinit file.

    eg skill_function.autolad = "mySkillFile.il"

    So skill files in the skill directory aren't loaded automatically on start-up?

    Is there a way to do this automatically or is this not recommended?

    That's right. The correct method is to use your allegro.ilinit to load the files you need. You could easily include a function in there to load all the skill files present.
