Tony,
Problem solved. I was able to get things working by using your last
suggestion "deleting the .julia directory then running Pkg.init() again in
Julia". Juno then installed a bunch of packages when I ran it and connected
to Julia and was able to evaluate the example script from within Juno.
Thanks for your assistance.
