Bill,
I hope I am not adding to confusion. But here's some additionial
information. Apologies if I am repeating things already written ....
You wrote, after trying Steve's suggestions:

Are you giving these commands to the shell, or to pop11 or to emacs?
NB:
To make them work from the shell you *have to* follow instructions printed
out when you run getpoplog.sh [I've just tried to make this clearer in
the printout]:
Now change directory to poplog_base and use the contents of the file
USEPOP to assign the path name to the environment variable $usepop
If you use sh or bash run this command run in the poplog_base directory:
export usepop=`cat USEPOP`
csh/tcsh users do this instead:
setenv usepop `cat USEPOP`
In both cases this should then print out the full path name:
echo $usepop
If using bash or sh as your shell set up paths and environment variables
source $usepop/pop/com/poplog.sh
If using csh or tcsh as your shell set up paths and environment variables
source $usepop/pop/com/poplog.csh
After all that a whole lot of additional commands will be available from
the shell, including pop11, prolog, clisp, ved, xved, teach, help, ....
[I now think I should produce a file called INSTRUCTIONS with that content,
to be fetched and installed by getpoplog.sh]
If you don't do all that you will not get the benefit of using
shell commands to run poplog.
You don't need to re-run getpoplog.sh, just fetch the latest version
and look for the instructions near the end.
