Tony, Charles, you seem to be the gray beards here!

Thanks for the clarification. I did indeed try unpacking netrw v.147
to both locations and confirmed that they were in each. I also
confirmed that all files & directories were read/execute/accessible to
all and that they were not user-specific virtual instantiations (a
Windows 7 feature). In both cases, I got the same behaviour i.e. when
I edited a directory, I got what appeared to be an empty file.

On a separate matter, even if I got netrw 147 working on the computer
for which I have admin privileges, it would not be a solution for the
copying of marked files by the Windows-based gvim on the locked down
computer (which is where I will be spending most of my time). There
are barriers to getting anything installed there. Is there another
avenue I can pursue for that scenario?
