Re: Linear regulator question
"Now, question: you say a transistor should read around 0.7V between the emitter and base ? Why ? Does the datasheet tell you something I'm not seeing ?"
This where you need to know what the device is on how it basic function is.

Use you DMM in Diode mode and see what the reading on the B-E (forward bias) of the Transistor shows (you are reading the junction Voltage).
