The two noted above were commented out, update performed, commenting
removed and mate installed.
There is at least one error. I do not guarantee that there are no others!
Between trying to install Mate and uncommenting the Mate repositories
you need to do an update. Otherwise, apt or aptitude will not know
about packages in those two repositories and will not install from them.
So:
Uncomment those last two lines. Then:
# apt-get/aptitude update
# apt-get/aptitude search mate
# apt-get/aptitude install <packages the search tells you that you want>
The system now is Debian7.
I still do not have a desktop, just a command prompt.
You still haven't installed a desktop. You must have had error reports
when you tried to install Mate previously. It would help if your
requests for help included any error messages you have had.

==================
Lisi -
I tried your sugestions - no luck.
As follows -
apt-get purge mate-*
apt-get update
following the Wiki....
apt-get --yes --quiet --allow-unauthenticated install mate-archive-keyring
apt-get update
# Now to install MATE choose 1 of the 3 apt-get lines below.
# this installs the base packages
apt-get install mate-core
apt-get update
no error messages.
Boots to command prompt
TIA
