Starting to play with emacs 21.3

1. First observations using the emacs on my Dell in 326 (the room formerly known as 217:-)

   It tried to load bbdb, but can't find the library. Not surprising, considering the library is at /share/elisp/packages-e21/bbdb-2.32/lisp/bbdb.elc .

   So we'll need to figure out where to put the libraries.

2. In debugging this, I noticed that the usual way of evaluating random bits of elisp-- namely, putting the expression in the *scratch* buffer and hitting C-j, doesn't work. This makes it really hard to poke around to debug stuff like this.
