Yes, I thought that at the time. I think I was thrown by the initial
error message, which prompted me to think that a file called
"ob-bibtex.el" existed or had existed, and this would add some sort of
functionality that I had yet to understand.

This turns out to be a red herring. I find I can edit the source blocks
and insert appropriate comment lines using C-c '. I forgot about this
and was editing the source blocks directly in the org file.😱

Yes ol-bibtex.el is good but doesn't fit my purpose. I use non-standard
bib fields - such as "illustrations", "binding", "condition", etc. -
that are not in available properties of ol-bibtex.el.
Thanks again for your help - I feel I understand things a little better.
Colin.
