I have a function in my separate js file called hello().
On my page I have this js:
<script type='text/javascript'>//do hello fnc</script>
How can I get the on page script to call the function in my main js file?

Call it in the src attribute of another script tag, before referring to any of its functions in this script.
<script type='text/javascript' src='main.js'></script>
<script type='text/javascript'>
hello();
// Anything defined in previously included js files like main.js
// is now available, as well as anything defined on this page.
</script>

as a sidenote
type='text/javascript' is no longer necessaryLoad the external file first and call the function:
<script src=external.js></script>
<script>
hello();
</script>

You just need to include the external js file:
<script type="text/javascript" src="MyOtherFile.js"></script>
And then wherever in you code you want to call the funciton:
<script type="text/javascript">hello();</script>
