Can you define what ~ stands for above? For example:
- Linux typically = /home/username/
- Mac typically = /Users/username/
- Win = ???
--- Doing a 'dir ~' from the prompt yielded 'Volume in drive C has no label' or cd ~ yields 'The system cannot find the path specified'

I notice that in .emacs the entry
(add-to-list 'load-path "C:/emacs/lisp/org")

or as I first had it,
(add-to-list 'load-path "C:/emacs/org-6.36c")

neither have any effect. It seems Emacs will find Org in ~/emacs/lisp/org no
matter what. Only (require 'org) is present in my .emacs and then
some Org settings.

This might be extremely minute, but the GNU Emacs FAQ includes a trailing slash in the instructions on how to add directories to one's load path via .emacs [1]:

(add-to-list 'load-path "/dir/subdir/")

Not sure if that will help you at all. Primarily I'd focus on making sure ../emacs/org[-6.36c] is where you think it is? Not to come across as insulting... just never hurts to be sure!

Any comments appreciated.
