[imp] Missing options button & error log

[David F. Reed]

Mike,

I admit I am stupid in this area; there seems to be quite a few issues 
involved, about which I know zilch.

I understand its all volunteers, and as such, one has to help ones' own
self to a high degree.

My problem is when there are cascaded lack of knowledge (me),
it is hard to resolve the dependencies.  Of course, it is unreasonable
to expect anyone to jump in and provide all the answers in a cook-book
like fashion

So how is that done?  By going to the configuration of IMP page, I read 
that I need to create a preferences storage container and set that up to 
use it.  Neither of which do I know how to do. So, I am stuck...
I think I know how to go to the horde/config/horde.php to
set it to use sql, but that blows things up because I cannot seem to
correctly configure sql...

if you see what I mean by cascaded dependencies, this is an example;
I get a clue, fix one thing to trip on the next.  and, I have no idea 
how many more there are behind it. (whine off)...

Okay, I believe you, but cannot figure what the objection is; more
cascaded dependencies.

oh well.  I accept I am in over my head, but I hate to give up on it;
is there anywhere a straight forward set of instructions for dummies
to set up imp?
