The only h= elp I get from Wolfram says I need to "install palette" (that's all the det= ail I get).

On a Mac you click on the "Palette/Install Palette" (after you have run the code above in your example), select which palette to install then give it a name and click on either of the "User Base" or "System Base" locations to save it, and then click on Finish. Then from the Palette menu you should now have the new palette in the list of available choices, so select the name and it should now appear with the correct name you gave it (the other one has a name of untitled-x which you can now close). Then restarting Mathematica the palette should now be started automatically along with any others you had. -Bob
