Thanks, Marco. I do not have IIS up and running on Home Premium and have heard that at best getting it to run is difficult if not plain out cranky! I basically just need a good local environment to do the development in then transfer to my shared host. Living in the country, doing my own hosting is not an option.
I spent a good bit of the afternoon yesterday looking at the Adobe site and found some but not all the information I needed. It is the IIS end that I'm so short on.
