1) On page 7 "Scalar Multiplication" (first line) my original question is defined/stated.  I will follow up on checking how to access it in the nc_ini03.input environment.

2) Example 3.4 doesn't work on my system.  Is this just not implemented or do I need more included functions?
--------
The command and answer is:
 -> pp_02 : NCP :=(y^(-1)-x)^(-1)

   >> Error detected within library code:
   NCPOLY: inverse(f) - polynomial not invertible.
-------------
Is there a large gap between nc_ini03.input  and 1803.10627.pdf; did I misunderstand the relationship?

In principle what you want to do is not that difficult. You need the base field to be something like Expression or maybe Fraction MultivariatePolynomial, etc. , then the noncommutative polynomials are defined over that. What is sometimes a bit tricky is to convince the interpreter that certain symbols are to be interpreted as parameters coming from the base field or as generators (noncommutative variables). Usually you just need to be more explict about the types.

    I certainly agree!  It's turned a chore into something fun!

    Question: is there some way to introduce a commutating
    variable/parameter/undefined "a" into the the equations?
    i.e. (1+3*x^2)*(2+a*x*y)
    x,y NCP
    "a" being a parameter, a member of K the base field.

    Making it a part of the alphabet {x,y,a} works, produces some
    reasonable
    outputs, but I have a feeling that it's unnecessarily restrictive. I
    hope this is not an _extremely_ silly question.
