This is the error I get when I try any form of html export:
org-export-remove-or-extract-drawers: Wrong type argument: sequencep,
quote
It even happens when I select a region without a drawer and then try
exporting.
Suggestions?

What is the value or org-drawers?
What is your #+OPTIONS line?

This is likely the source of my problem. I had trouble finding the
proper way to configure the drawer. The documentation says that "Drawers
need to be configured with the variable org-drawers," then gives the
example of "You can define drawers on a per-file basis with a line like
#+DRAWERS: HIDDEN PROPERTIES STATE." So, without further indication of
what these settings do, or how to actually use the variable org-drawers, I
just used the sample code in my file with the name of my drawer
added on to the end:
#+DRAWERS: HIDDEN PROPERTIES STATE PRIVATE
The drawer, by the way, has encrypted text in it. I have also confirmed
that html export works fine in general.
Perhaps there is an argument to be made for clarifying the drawers
documentation (or perhaps I'm just too clueless!).
Cheers.

This line is correct, and when activated by loading such a buffer,
or by pressing C-c C-c in the line, it will actually change org-drawers.

Let me repeat: Do you have an #+OPTIONS line? what does it say?
Please verify the value of org-drawers in the buffer where
you use this.
Don't try to minimize the information you give us, maximize it.

Yes, this works now.
I discovered that I had a *second* drawers setting at the end of the
file, under Local Variables. This second entry, which I copied from the
list archive, said this:
-# Local Variables:
-# org-drawers: '("PROPERTIES" "CLOCK" "MYDRAW")
-# End:
I did not change the final MYDRAW, but I suspect that it should have
said PRIVATE, the name of my drawer. I suspect, though I am not certain,
that the duplication of this line contributed to or caused my problem. After I
removed the above three lines, html export worked.
> Let me repeat: Do you have an #+OPTIONS line? what does it say?
No options line.

I'm not sure what you are asking for. The only drawer-related items I
have in the file (other than those native to org) are the drawer itself
and the line at the top of the file beneath the startup line:
#+STARTUP:overview logdone
#+DRAWERS: HIDDEN PROPERTIES STATE PRIVATE
That's it. No org-drawers value other than this. And this is part of my
problem. I can find no documentation (either in the manual or on this
list) as to what I'm supposed to do with org-drawers. The documentation
says this must be configured, but does not show how. For a non-programmer,
this presents a challenge. (Or, it may be in the documentation somewhere,
but I could not find it.)
> Don't try to minimize the information you give us, maximize it.
I hope this gives you enough. It's working now, though I still have not
configured anything special and do not know how to use org-drawers.
Inferring from the line that I removed, the following is perhaps the
value of org-drawers that I should use:
# org-drawers: '("HIDDEN" "PROPERTIES" "STATE" "PRIVATE")
Is the above the same as:
#+DRAWERS: HIDDEN PROPERTIES STATE PRIVATE
I assume there is a difference that is useful in some way, but I do not
know enough about programming to figure this out.
Cheers.

Now we are getting there. This *would* be equivalent to
#+DRAWERS: PROPERTIES CLOCK MYDRAW
if you'd left off the quote:
# Local Variables:
org-drawers: ("PROPERTIES" "CLOCK" "MYDRAW")
# End:
This is how the syntax of file variables works, values are read with
`read', not
evaluated, so quoting is not needed. Invalid, actually.
Confusing, yes, but safer.

OK, this could also have been a problem, possibly.

What I meant was to do
C-h v org-drawers RET
in the buffer to find out what the value truly is, to see
what - if anything - the in-buffer settings achieved.

You did the right thing, #+DRAWERS is in the manual as an example.
If you want to configure an Emacs variables directly, for example to
set consistend defaults for all Org files, it is often easier to
got through customize
M-x customize-variable RET org-drawers RET
because that does enforce the correct format of the value.

Without the quote, no difference.
Except that the syntax is easier with #+DRAWERS
and also not subject to (in this case unnecessary) security checks.
