Hi David, Thanks for suggesting the -debug-all emulator option. The last line of the -debug-all output was "emulator: ERROR: the user data image is used by another emulator. aborting".
After closing the existing emulator, the command line "emulator -avd my_avd" correctly starts the emulator. Apparently when starting the emulator from within Eclipse, my neglect of closing the emulator was countered by an automatic closing. Thanks again, Greg P.S., In reading the SDK emulator documentation at http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/emulator.html, I noticed a few typos -- "files tht you want" -- "control the its behaviors" -- "you ca start the emulator" Is the Android Issue Tracker the proper place to report documentation typos?
