Hi Ted,
This I know.  :-))

Always keep the green power line ground FAR AWAY from the RF ground which 
goes only to the low end of the secondary.

Connect all primary AC line power grounds together and to Terry's NST
filter ground.

 My question deals with internal grounding and I can't recall the general
 consensus...
 1. Does that NST case screw ALSO get connected to the RF Ground? (the same
 place I connect the bottom of the secondary to?) and from there to my earth
 rod? I have totally forgotten :(

NO-- NEVER 
 2. Or are the only two grounds the one from the secondary and the one from

One ground from the secondary is the RF ground
 
the "Fritz NST Filter array"?

This goes to the green wire and the ground stud on the NST
 
One RF ground to the secondary
 I'd appreciae a refresher here. And this time...I'll take notes!
