One new bit of new information.  It was a bad .htaccess file at the
top level directory of the whole web site that was making the
cgi_admin console not see any of my app directories.   I think I had
copied one of the ones that GoDaddy provided.  So, word to the wise:
don''t trust the GoDaddy auto-created .htaccess files.

The news about 2.0 apps is scary.  I upgraded when I bought a new
laptop a few months ago...

It seems clear to me that the GoDaddy support folks I talked to knew
exactly what my problem was, and were trying to provide hints, but
could not tell me directly.  It''s been some weird conversations along
the way, including the one about "yes, we successfully ran a test app
on your site, but we cannot give you the working sample..."
