Patricia,
When doing a "jump" start, put the ground lead from the jump battery 
somewhere on the engine, not the car battery or body. If the car starts 
connected this way, then the ground strap from the body to the engine is 
the problem.
Later,
Bob

the engine still doesn't turn over with the jump, which is why i'm kind of 
thinking that's not the problem.
