Newbie question from a newbie

[Treasure58]

I can't get downloaded characters installed.  I tried dumping the files into the the Hal directory and also into the Character directory but Hal still doesn't seem to see them.  What am I missing?  Please help.  I know this is routine for all you long-time Hal users but I'm just getting started.  Thanks.

If you didn't buy the Character Add-On Pack yet,
you will need to do so in order to install any
of the extra characters that are available or I
beleive to use any of the additional plug-ins that
have been written for Hal. The Add-On Pack contains
the additional program module for Hal to recognize
files that were not part of the original installer. [] []

Thanks.  That was the problem.
