Miguel, Thanks for the assistance. I don't have the MPI options you spoke of, so I figured that might have been part of the HPC Pack. I found a couple of web pages that helped me make progress. I'm not 100% there, but I'm much closer, say 85% of the way there.
Now I can get an Fortran+MPI program to run with a single click, but then I get an error that's OpenMPI-related. The same program runs from the command-line, so I think it's just a matter of me making sure some environment variables are set correctly. It turns out the user I'm doing this for will be away for 6 weeks, so this is no longer the priority it was a few days ago.
