get me confused about installing MVS3.8j. I started trying to build from
scratch using Jay Moseley instruction/procedure; discovered that I could
use the TK3 package (which I was excited about). Got through installing
MVs from the TK3 package to find out I do need to do some extra work
like IPL, customization, etc - some things in the process are optional I
understand but IPL I must do, right? And that's where I am now and a bit
dazed - trying to IPL.

You do not really need to do much customization to get the system
working, at least initially.  And certainly not have to build a .conf
file from scratch if you have run the SETUP script with the "correct"
responses.

But, without knowing what your objectives are, it is hard to advise you.
Are you just trying to get TK3 MVS 3.8j running in any form, quickly, or
???

If you just want to get the system up quickly (you can always delete
everything and start over), may I suggest the following responses to the
TK3 SETUP question prompts:

1 - setup_type
N - install_Herc_from_CD
N - install_HercGUI_from_CD
Y - install_Cygwin_from_CD
Y - install_c3270_from_CD
3 - DASD_location
Y - install_MVS_Source
Y - install_SMP_Volumes
Y - install_CBT_Volumes
Y - install_Starter_Sys
3270 - Console_Port
3505 - Socket_Rdr_Port
8081 - Web_Server_Port
2 - Hostname_Def
Y - Continue
     - <enter>
2 - nbr_3277_master_consoles
1 - nbr_3215_master_consoles
3 - nbr_3270_consoles
Y - Enable_Socket_Rdr
     - <enter>
SECRET -  Catalog_Password

After the system is built:

1) From the CD, copy \cygwin\HercRdr.exe to the hercules folder

2) Run hercules-3.03_msvc_32.exe (this is old, but is ok and is for a
windows system).  Be sure the files get copied to the hercules folder.

3) Then follow the Cookbook to IPL the system.  Start here:
http://www.bsp-gmbh.com/turnkey/cookbook/opmvs.html
<http://www.bsp-gmbh.com/turnkey/cookbook/opmvs.html>

Or, an alternative to all this (for a Windows installation) is to run
the TK3qstart script
(http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/hercules-os380/files/TK3qstart-0_00g\
c.zip
<http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/hercules-os380/files/TK3qstart-0_00g\
c.zip> ),  a Windows batch script that I wrote to assist with installing
Turnkey 3 with more up to date components (i.e. Hercules and wc3270
terminal client).
