Thanks.  I think I figured out what was wrong.  I selected Install on 
the root of the package tree, then used the view radio buttons (to see 
what they are for).  I think I reselected Install on the root after 
that, but I can't swear to it and can't test it at the moment (I'm in 
middle of a move and project), but in three or four weeks I'll probably 
get a chance to verify if that was the problem.
