I figured it out (after a while). The “issue” was that i was unable to see the “arrow” mentioned in the instructions, located on page 599 of users manual, stating “Step Three: Connect the Paths 1. Click on the camera path to select it. 2. Click and drag the target point (the point at the end of the arrow) to the target path, then release your mouse button. The target point automatically snaps to the camera of the tar- get path. You are now ready to preview the animation.”
In short, the target is such a micro-tiny-dot that it is barely decernable from dust on my screen. Once I was able to locate/see the dot (by using the move-the-target option), it could then be snapped/linked onto the target path. Sample animation included.
