Oops, I should note I also added this information to the wiki pages for OSProfile, OSSearch, and Offline IMs pages, and when I'm finished I intend to re-visit those pages and try to provide more precise instructions for each step to help those who come after me.
I'd suggest that in the future, editors of those pages and maintainers of the modules should try to follow the example set by the Groups page located at: http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Groups Of all the modules I've tried to install, the Groups module is the best documented with detailed and precise step-by-step instructions that can help novices learn how to install the module successfully.
