Joe You did everything right, but there is a bug in J6 when creating standalone apps with Plot - thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Plot requires several other files, and not all are being included in a standalone app, so right now, including Plot means including the full development system. I will get this fixed. To answer your other questions, I just put up a wiki page that should help, see: http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Guides/Standalone_Applications.
