I copied all the contents of the archive   org-6.36c/lisp/   directory, into 
C:/emacs/lisp/org/

Above is inaccurate, the  .emacs  load-path directories DO have the 
trailing slash.

Thanks , will re-read the FAQ.  Although it doesn't seem to refer to 
installing or updating packages with Emacs, Like Org or Remember etc. 

As I say, Emacs seems to find the Org 6.35c  components in 
C:/emacs/lisp/org/    It hasn't however ever generated  .elc  files 
from them - and I think that may be wrong, but don't know.
