Thank you, Ross.  Your explanation of what was happening lead me to
combine the 2nd of the 2 scripts prior to the installCommit and the
3rd script that I was running after the installCommit.  The result of
the code in the scripts plus the lines in the install.cfg were echoed
out to a file and subsequently loaded via loadConfig.  This produced
the desired result.
