OK, good news.  Followed your advice and now can enter the ILS frequency into the CDU.  The next problem however is that while the plane captures the localiser each time it does not catch the glide slope.  In the PFD I see a green "ALT" which means the Alt hold is still on (I can't click it off actually) and under it in smaller white letters it says "gs".  I also don't hear the usual ILS beeps.  Any suggestions?  In other simpler aircraft the alt hold automatically switches off when you capture the GS.
