6. The s_conf file should be copied into the C:\Sesame\Program\ folder on the Sesame Server workstation only. The documentation may refer to s_conf.cnf file. This is the same file. Explanation for difference is not needed now. It is a function of a Windows setting.
The s_conf.cnf file should be copied into the C:\Sesame directory, Not the C:\Sesame\Program folder. Since the Start In folder in a default install is C:\Sesame that is where Sesame will look for the s_conf.cnf file.

Do you have to start the server first and then open sesame, two seperate commands? I am not sure if the client can even connect. When i tried connecting from the client computer the system hung up.
Yes they are going to be two separate commands, or Icons. One to start the Server, which must be running in order for a client to connect, and the second to start the Client. You can start the Sesame Server when a person logs in by putting the Sesame Server icon in the StartUp directory.
The Sesame Server's Target just needs to say "C:\Sesame\Program\sesame.exe -server ServerName", without the quotes and replace ServerName with the Computer Name of the Computer that is going to be running Sesame Server.
You can tell Sesame to connect as a client and open a particular application at the same time.
The Client's Target would be similar to "C:\Sesame\Program\sesame.exe -client ServerName data\MySesameFile.db", without the quotes, replace ServerName with the Computer Name of the Computer that is going to be running Sesame Server, and "data\MySesameFile.db" would be the path to the DB file that you want opened.
For Example: If the Server Computers name was MotherShip and you wanted to have Sesame open automatically the file named Invoices.db that is in C:\Sesame\Data.
Then the Server Target would be
C:\Sesame\Program\sesame.exe -server MotherShip
The Client Target would be
C:\Sesame\Program\sesame.exe -client MotherShip Data\Invoices.db
If you also wanted Sesame to run a Macro named MonthlyBilling.mac which is in C:\Sesame then the target would be
C:\Sesame\Program\sesame.exe -client MotherShip Data\Invoices.db -macro MonthlyBilling.mac
