Michael -- thanks very much for the response.
I actually got this working and am sorry I was so busy I did not follow up my
own posting with the results.
The problem seems to have been with my definition of the variable
shell-prompt-pattern.
Even though I kept changing it, thinking it had to be the problem, the changes
never made a difference.
Then I thought to exit emacs (something I don't do regularly!), thinking maybe
the process which had been spawned retained the earlier value.
Once I restarted (having followed the other steps outlined in the document I
cited),
it worked fine.
Now, in emacs, I only use the following 3 lines of elisp:
(require 'tramp)
(setq tramp-default-method "plink")
(setq shell-prompt-pattern "^.*\\$ ")
and then I can use the syntax
/plink:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:.
(as argument, say, to dired), after which I am prompted for the password, and
then I get the normal dired listing.
In case it helps anyone else, I also got derailed once when I found out the variable of
PATH used for cmd.exe (windows xp) was getting clobbered by some remote process. Our
workstations are managed by a central group who often "push" updates, etc. to
individual workstations. It took me a little while to figure out that this was
happening, as well.
Thanks again, for your response, and for providing such a useful package!

Hi,
When I try to open a file, e.g. using the syntax:
/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:.profile
I get the following output in the buffer
*debug tramp/plink [EMAIL PROTECTED] (sorry the output is wrapped):

This is not the complete Tramp debug buffer. The "are you awake" message
is sent once a connection was opened already, and a new command has been
sent after a while.
For analysis, I'ld like to see the whole debug buffer after a fresh
Emacs start and a new Tramp connection attempt. This shall reduce side
effects.
It would simplify the analysis if you would send your bug report via M-x
tramp-submit-bug. This provides additional information.
Best regards, Michael.
