Thanks for your reply.

Proseries does a poor job with this, as the form for extending the 990-T and the 990-PF both appear to work when operating with the forms .... but there is no notation about efiling the extension for the Form 8868 that indicates that the extension is required to be filed manually .... unless .... you go thru the review process .... and viola, a note says .... "The extension for Form 990-T can not be filed electronically. You must file it on paper ...... " .... it would help to have that indication either in the main worksheet or on the top of the Form 8836 for the Form 990-T ... rather than bury it ....
