> Just like Drew explained. The above would effectively do:

>     (add-to-list 'load-path "~/elisp/package")
>     (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/downloaded")
>     (load-library "my-test.el")

I understood that part, of course.  The question is: why do you need to
do that?
Hence "What are these directories and how are they related to my-test.el?"
And "Why ~/elisp/package and ~/.emacs.d/downloaded?"

Hopefully you (or Drew) understand those two questions now and can
answer them,
