Description :
The OpenSSL toolkit provides support for secure communications between

libraries which provide various cryptographic algorithms and
protocols.

I think you may be right, and I am not certain how that happened, unless I
forgot to check if an older version was installed before installing the new
one.

You didn't answer this.

You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated
into your certificate request.
What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.
There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank
For some fields there will be a default value,
If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.

Does this clear some things up George? I am noting that it appears to have a

I am perplexed. But refuse to give up. With some direction I know I can get
through this part.

I do appreciate the assistance.
