Yes. /home/bill/emacs/lisp/org/org..elc exists.

No. But I do have
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.org$" . org-mode)) as was
recommended. Org-4.67 worked with that line.
I replaced '(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.org$" . org-mode)) with
"(add-to-list 'load-path "/home/bill/emacs/lisp/org/")" and version
5.17a now opens.

I just did. All the permissions are now correct.
I am going to have to really dig into this. It is working as a result
of following "button-push" instructions (and I thank you for that), but
I really don't understand what is going on.
No response needed; more of a note to myself.
