Dave, John, 

Thanks for your help.  This was killing me!  I finally figured it out.  The full instructions for future readers: 

1. Create a TOC like normal. 
 2. Create a TOC Paragraph Style or Styles.
 3. When you create the Style(s) click on the Tabs setting, and type a "." in the Leader box, and then select a right-justified tab. Then click on the ruler in your far-right margin (7.5" in my case).
 4. Open the "Table of Contents..." menu box, and make the Entry Style the Style that you have just created.
 5. Set Page Number to "After Entry".
 6. Set Between Entry and Number to Tab Character, "^t".   

That's the "special top-secret sequence" to getting those silly little dots in your TOC.
