That worked, with a catch.....

I started in EP-Launch and edited 
C:\EnergyPlus\ExampleFiles\Misc\AirCooledElectricChillier.idf
and clicked on "Simulate".  It ran with no errors.  I clicked 
on "Spreadsheet", and the additional meters didn't report out.

Then I used Windows Explorer to copy the IDF file to 
C:EnergyPlus\AirCooledElectricChillier.idf.  

I went back to EP-Launch, clicked on "browse" to select the new file, 
clicked on "Simulate", ran with no errors, clicked on "Spreadsheet", 
and found the additional meters.

Thank you for the help.
