Sorry for the delay in getting back to you; I've been fighting other fires. 
;-)

Your last line was the key: I hadn't seen anything in the documentation 
about how to actually FIND Webstart when it is actually installed. It turns 
out that whatever I did worked just fine; I simply went to 
File/Export/Other and Webstart was right there. 

The only documentation I could find said how you'd find it in NetBeans, 
which I'm not using. 

With a bit of luck, the Webstart documentation will tell me the rest of 
what I need to know to work with this tool.

Ironically, I posted to Oracle's JNLP forum several days ago about my 
"uninitialized" problem and finally got a reply yesterday. The responder 
basically said you can't test your Java Web Start stuff in Eclipse! 
Apparently, he didn't know about the Webstart plugin....
