Thanks for the tips!  After reading the tutorial from which you referenced the screenshots (http://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/GettingStartedTutorial/AShortGlimpseIntoTheExtensionManager/Index.html), I was able to update the plugin (to 2.3.1).  I saw that some people had had problems with 2.3.2, so I wasn't brave enough to go "all the way" ;-)
