Thanks Proud, for sticking with me on this.
There are two ways I check to see it isn't running:
First, I can go to grc.com and run the ShieldsUP! test. Everything is "closed" (not stealth) and one port is "open" for internet printer sharing.
Then I go into console as root and type "guarddog." The Guarddog window comes up and lets me click to turn it on- meaning it has been turned off until then. Then, when I go back to grc.com, everything is "stealth."
Here's how my /etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables reads:
#!/bin/sh
#
# Startup script to implement /etc/sysconfig/iptables pre-defined rules.
#
# chkconfig: 2345 03 92
