Subject: CSS version 4.2: can't access EPICS

I updated my CS-Studio to version 4.2.0 (I downloaded the executable).
Now I find that I can't access any EPICS PVs.  My screens show the PVs as 'disconnected', yet I can access them using caget.
Probe says that "Channel <PV name> uses default data source but one was never set"
The css_book at https://ics-web.sns.ornl.gov/kasemir/CSS/Training/css_book.pdf says ($27.3) to check that I have a plugin called org.csstudio.utility.pv.epics.  I don't, but unfortunately it doesn't tell me what I can do about that... (I _do_ have org.csstudio.platform.libs.epics).
Under Edit...Preferences...CSS Core I was hoping to find an EPICS section so that I could check my settings corresponding to EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST etc.  Unfortunately, the entire EPICS section is missing.

Any ideas?

Phil
