Yeah that's the problem, when I go PROG> there is nothing there!?
Everything is just kinda greyed out.
Like I said I do have the contents in the same folder as SD2 which (I believe) is in the right place.
Hope I'm not just forgetting something that is just staring me in the face.
But I think I've done everything right.

ok, just to clarify, don't actually click on the PROG> but click in the window just to the right of it, where it says NEW PROGRAM. 
 
 

 
that will open a new window called the PROGRAM BROWSER.
then click on one of the "+" next to one of the categories to open kits to choose from in a category.
then double click on one of the kit names and it will load into SD2.
 
 

 
and NOW I've loaded a kit and the kit pieces are no longer "greyed out."  you can't see my mouse cursor, but in this next photo, you can see the kick has a light on above it, that's the indication you get when it's playing because I've clicked on it when I took the screenshot.  you can't do that until you load the kit.
 

Good point to raise from time to time, Greg.
Some of the more free-form synths. such as Triangle II, Dreamstation, etc, are capable of pruducing some very pure and painfully loud tones.
Doubly important if you are wearing headphones while experimenting.
You can't hear 19khz, it just hurts when you turn it up.
