I finally got around to playing with this some more.
Thank you for your message, Bruce. I searched for Vidalia and found an
old bundle that appears to work perfectly on my Windows 10 machine.
Steps I took:
1. Download Vidalia Bundle 0.2.4.23 from
http://vidalia-bundle.en.lo4d.com/
2. Extract
3. Install
4. Start
5. The Vidalia Control Panel will pop-up
6. In settings, I changed the Tor executable from the one included
with the Vidalia Bundle to the current version of Tor elsewhere on my
system.
Like I said, it *appears* to be working. Can't find it in relay search
yet, but I only set it up moments ago.

There used to be a VIDALIA (sp?) kit that could simply be downloaded
and
run on a windows machine. I then worked for an ISP/CLEC and had lots
of
bandwidth so ran Vidaalia on a 64 bit Windows 7 Ultimate machine on my
desk at work.
I never did hear why something had changed at the tor project so that
stopped working, but do remember a rude snippy condescending reply
from
someone on the mailing list so I lost interest.
I did get the head Tor guy from the Central Square Cambridge office of
TOR to come speak at a local networking group's monthly meeting we
held
at a MicroSlush faclity in Burlington, MA and it was well received by
a
packed audience. I think he now has left TOR and works for some ISP.
