I need to reinstall the pst files in a new reinstall of Outlook 2003. I have
saved the old files before.

Whatever you do, don't import.

I have followed the instructions in the link you've posted. It doesn't work
for me. When re-installing Outlook I was forced to create a new account
which Outlook gave the name of my mailserver (mail.wright.edu). Even though
I've selected my old .pst file for delivery of new emails, I find that new
emails still go to the Inbox under the new account. When I try deleting
emails from that Inbox, a line is drawn through the sender's name on the
email but it isn't moved to the "Deleted Items" folder either.

I'm not a newbie at this, but I'm stumped. What could I be doing wrong?

It sounds like you are using an IMAP account - you cannot reuse a .pst file
in IMAP accounts.
