Note that ACR only provides basic functionality in Elements. All the
advanced features work in CS2 only. But you can do quite good RAW
conversions with only the basic featureset.
As far as I'm aware, Elements 4 is Windows only currently, Elements 3 is
the Mac version, but that will work with ACR 3.x as well.

ACR is, indeed, part of Photoshop Elements 4.0
ACR is also a separate module that undergoes frequent updates, and which
can be downloaded from the Adobe store free of charge. It is compatible
with Elements as well as Photoshop.
While it's most likely Elements is using a version of ACR that supports the
DL, you might want to be sure, and, if necessary, DL the latest ACR
version, which I believe is 3.3. You can also get the DNG converter in the
same package. A pretty good deal.

I have seen this program memtioned here in reference to using with Pentax
Raw files. Another program was also mentioned, Adobe Camera Raw. Am I
correct in assuming that ACR is included with the Elements 4.0, or is it a
seperate program I must purchase?
I am ready to buy a new computer system to support my ist DL appetite for
memory and hard drive space, and a new Photoshop program will be needed as
well. My old 2.0 won't be the best choice I am sure, but it does work for
now, except no RAW capability.
Any input/recommendations much appreciated. I am almost, but not
completely,
computer illeterate.
