Thank you, Jim.  Your encouragement was just what I needed.  I had
gone through some of the tutorial but where I was stumbling was with:

the .emacs file (I found the home directory but I had not realised
that .emacs does not exist in a new emacs installation and so I was
searching all over for it before realising I needed to create it)

the load-paths (confusion with backwards and forward slashes).

Anyway, I gave it another go just now and sorted it all out.  I am
thrilled to report that I have just created a task.
