It seems like I *much* just be having a senior moment, but I can't
figure how to get a block quote or indented text in org mode.

Please help?

There may be some better ways to do these things, but here's how I do
it -- 

With an initial indentation, I just insert spaces to set the indentation
when I start typing a paragraph and each following line wraps to map
that indentation.

If a new line follows an indented line, tab will move the new line to
the same indentation as the indented line it follows.

Or if you're finishing a paragraph that's indented and want the next
paragraph indented the same amount, use M-j instead of return to start
the new paragraph.

If it's text that's already typed and you want to indent it, use
indent-region. (But again, this doesn't work for me unless it follows a
paragraph that's indented.)

not sure what exactly you mean here, something like

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE

#+END_EXAMPLE

??? Is this question about exporting, or about editing the Org-mode  
buffer?

Is this for exporting?  The org manual says this:

. o O ( 12.6.4 Quoted examples ----------------------                )
      (                                                              )
      ( When writing technical documents, you often need to insert   )
      ( examples that are not further interpreted by Org-mode.  For  )
      ( historical reasons, there are several ways to do this:       )
      (                                                              )
      (    * If a headline starts with the word `QUOTE', the text    )
      (      below the headline will be typeset as fixed-width, to   )
      (      allow quoting of computer codes etc.                    )
      (                                                              )
      (    * Lines starting with `:' are also typeset in fixed-width )
      (     font.  `C-c :' Toggle fixed-width for entry (QUOTE) or   )
      (     region, see below.                                       )
      (                                                              )
      (    * Finally, text between #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE quoted text       )
      (    #+END_EXAMPLE will also be exported in this way.          )
      (                                                              )

That's not really satisfactory for me, because most of the time when I
want to export a blockquote, it's not a code sample, but a block quote
from an article or such.  I've ended up using

@<blockquote>
    quoted text
@</blockquote>

since I'm generally exporting HTML for blog usage.  That's not perfectly
satisfactory, either (since I /could/ want to export to something else),
but it's good enough most of the time.
