I want someone to send me money. In a comment somewhere it was said: "They can then use the Send Money feature to direct funds to your account". Where and how do 'they' access the 'Send Money" feature? What web site do I instruct them to access?

First, the sender "must" have a PayPal Account, the account type can be Personal, Premier or Business. Regardless of the type of account, it should be "verified" before using it.
As for how to send someone money, there's a Send tab on the Account Overview page. It's fairly straight forward.
See the Send Money with PayPal tutorial on this page:

Note, the receiving account should also be "verified", else the receiver may experience delays or holds in receiving the funds.
