"Since drawing lines from point a to point b is the most basic of acad actions I think I must be doing something wrong at a fundamental level. " - you are spot on. The solution you accepted is no solution at all.
The actual simple answer to your problem was to prefix your coords with an '@' symbol and probably also inform you that hitting the space bar (mostly) has the same effect as hitting the Return key.
By changing the system-level variable DYNPICOORDS you're changing the default coordinate entry from Absolute to Relative. I've seen people sacked on the spot for 'fiddling around' with system settings (albeit by an ignorant oaf of a manger that was probably just embarrassed by his own lack of knowledge.)
So if someone sits at your PC it won't work as they expect. And if you sit at someone else's PC and change their default input settings you can forget about a christmas card.
Coordinate entry is a Day 1 Autocad lesson. I don't know what industry you work in or plan to work in, but in my industry (construction) if you don't understand coord entry, you've no business getting paid to use Acad. Acad is a high-precision draughting tool, not some conceptual toy like Sketchup.
