A little late but this is what should help:

Improv is using the 'default database' for environment that every NeXT
machine keeps.  If you type

	dread -o Improv

in a shell window you will get all the settings that Improv uses in addition
to the model information.  One line in your database should read

	Improv enableOakumPort YES

which specifies that the usage of the API is enabled.  If you can't find it
or 'enableOakumPort' is set to 'NO' type

	dwrite -o Improv enableOakumPort YES

to set it accordingly.
