After a quick chat with Steffen ( thank you! ) I think I was getting myself all confused over software levels and different manuals I was reading ( all were current manuals listed on the Skywatcher website )

So as best I can figure, to align an alt/az mount for solar viewing:
1. Setup home position for "Easy Tracking Mode"
a. Level mount
b. Level telscope and point to true north (not magnetic).
2. Slew to sun with appropriate filter on and start solar tracking rate.

I tried that this afternoon and it works.

Thank you to all for helpful comments.

Cheers
