Thanks for all the helpful advice.  Choosing "install for real" took 
care of the problem and I was able to configure AmiTCP.  However, now 
when I run the script to connect to my local ISP, I get a requestor from 
AmiTCP:bin/ifconfig that says 'AmiTCP/IP version 4 or later must be 
started first'.  The window for AmiTCP does open first, but I have to 
wait about a minute before I can click on the OK button and proceed.  Do 
I need to register AmiTCP 4.0 in order to bypass the window and allow 
ifconfig to work correctly?  Thanks in advance for any suggestions...
