It was fully charged, and what happened was that some screen suddenly appeared that asked where I wanted to go to. I must have hit some key to bring up this note, but I couldn't get out of it. I gave up, and turned the Kindle off -- the way I do when my computer gets locked and I can't get it moving. Now when I try to turn it on, the green light flashes, but IT WON'T TURN ON! I can't contact Amazon, because I don't remember my password -- which is written down at home. Oh, well, I guess I'll just have to wait two weeks to fix it when I get home.

If you have the official Amazon cover I'd suggest you start with taking it out of the cover.
If it still won't start try sliding the power switch and holding it for 30 seconds. Then it should do a full reboot. But it will take some time, so when you have released the power switch sit back and relax for a while.
And if it still won't start I'd try charging it again for a while before trying a reboot again (I know you said it was charged, but stranger things has happened, batteries aren't always reliable.).
btw: have you hacked it or done anything otherwise unconventional with it?
