nwcole: Sorry - I haven't figured out exactly how this forum works, so I can't append this message to my original post.
I received an email from GOG regarding the DirectPlay fix. It worked. I only wish it was prominent in the purchase / download info so I would not have made such an ass of myself. Having spent the day fighting phone support for a failed AV receiver (a 40 lb, >$1,000 unit) I was in a "pissy" mood. It primed me to look for the next "corporate screwing" and GOG was the unfortunate recipient.
The two later games in the order appear to be working fine once I followed GOG support instructions regarding DirectPlay installation. (I have not tried the two earlier versions). All the "hot keys" documented in the originally purchased CD game appear to work.
I apologize for my bad attitude - (I'm just used to 70 years of corporate screwing and assumed, wrongly, this was yet another instance of same).

timppu: If that was the case, why then would GOG offer a refund option (for those cases where the game doesn't work even though you meet the system requirements and GOG can't fix it for you)?
That's because they are realistic, they know there are always some configurations that might still have problems. especially when we are talking about old games retrofitted to work on modern PCs.
The listed system requirements are not a "if you meet these, the game will 100% certainlý work!", but a "if you meet these requirements, you are entitled for a refund in case the game doesn't work and we can't fix it to work for you".
