Please tell me what you mean exactly by loading Tramp in the *scratch*
buffer?

I know about installing a package from a tar file or I can load
individual lisp files but not a whole directory full of lisp files...

I did that and Emacs answered me: 2.5.1-pre.  I assumed that this must
surely be 2.5.1.3.  But what you wrote about emacs -Q is more
reasonable.

I'll loaded all 20 tramp 2.5.1.3 sources from their Elpa folder and the
remote copy operation is working now with emacs -Q. Hurrah!

Right, also completion is working with 2.5.1.3. :-)

Using Tramp is so much more convenient than to open a terminal, then scp
files, then ssh into the remote machine and then operate on the files!
All in one go with Tramp, great stuff!

Thank you very much Michael

PS: The only thing where I'm a bit confused is why - in emacs -Q - Tramp
isn't asking me to save the passwords in an .authinfo file?  Did you
change a customisation in 2.5.1.3 compared to 2.5.1-pre?
