I'm replying to myself... hmmm but my problems are fixed now.

Alright thanks to a suggestion from someone on the list (it had run across 
my mind before but wasn't sure it would work) I now have sound.

I installed NAS and am using auplay to play the wav files for the sounds.
I just added "run nasd -b" in my "start xastir.bat" file before xastir 
loads and reconfigured xastir to use "auplay" and it works beautifully.

I'm not sure what I did right this time that I didn't do the first time but 
I opened the very same ImageMagick archive that I already had that I 
downloaded from Curt's site and copied all the files again to /usr.

Still couldn't find "display" anywhere on my computer and was in the 
process of downloading another ImageMagick package and decided to load 
xastir one more time just to see what happened.  I clicked on the 
"terraserver.geo" map in my list and after taking forever to download it 
was displaying.  Then I tested the tigermaps option and it worked like a 
champ too.

still confused on what exactly I did and/or didn't do but at this point I 
don't care... all I know is everything is working as it should. :-)

Now to find some more features to exploit. ;)

Thanks again folks for the ideas of what to look for.
