Are there any updated instructions for using the NOP 4.2 PayPal Standard plug-in?
The following instructions don't make any sense (PayPal's system has no Profile button!)
I'm pushing a client's website to go live, but the PayPal portion completely escapes me  (their old website used Live Client Id and Live Client Secret)

1. Log in to your PayPal account (click here to create your account). - already done
2. Click the Profile button. - WHERE?
3. Click the Profile and Settings button. -WHERE?
4. Select the My selling tools item on left panel.
5. Click Website Preferences Update in the Selling online section.
6. Under Auto Return for Website Payments, click the On radio button.
7. For the Return URL, enter the URL on your site that will receive the transaction ID posted by PayPal after a customer payment (https://admin-demo.nopcommerce.com/Plugins/PaymentPayPalStandard/PDTHandler).
8. Under Payment Data Transfer, click the On radio button and get your PDT identity token.
9. Click Save.

Anyone have updated and actually working instructions for this? Paypal's forums are useless and usually take several weeks before anyone actually replies!

Sincerely Stumped!

The instructions on PayPal's website are also incorrect:
 Click Settings.
    Click Website payments under "Products & Services" on the left of the page.<-- NO SUCH LINK!
    Click Update beside Website preferences.
    Select On for "Auto return for website payments."
    Enter the URL (in the Return URL field) that you will send your buyers to after a transaction completes, and click Save.
    Select On for "Payment data transfer."
    Your identity token will be displayed in the "Payment data transfer" section.


This is crazy difficult!

Found this little gem (PayPal was no help at all - I chewed them out in their feedback section for not updating documentation - they've had over a year to do so).
