When I open an application that accesses the Internet, it gains access
but I get no pop-up asking for my permission.

The firewall setting is High and both of these settings are enabled:

Intelligent Application Manager (IAM)
Informational dialog box

Any leads/hints?

Thank you.

Obviously you haven't.

That's not what the manual says, it's been fixed, and that doesn't
happen.

So your answer is "I don't like what you're trying to do so I'm going
to spew nonsense in reply".

Sounds like you're offended by your own cluelessness.

That's totally obscure, from someone who wants others to specify
clearly.

Sounds like a personal problem on your end.

So it got lost between your ears.

The HTML reference work includes context-sensitive help. All you have
to do is navigate to (Firewall -- Advanced Configuration --
Navigation) and click on the help link in the top right of the page.

Like nothing in your head.
Even though I'm sure you will continue acting confused, this text is
from the manual:

ActiveArmor Firewall Intelligent Application Manager (IAM)
Configuration To access the ActiveArmor Firewall IAM Configuration
page, from the ForceWare Network Access Manager menu, click Firewall >
Advanced Configuration > Application.

You can use this configuration page to create firewall rules based on
the name of an application.

When any application attempts to open a new network connection as a
client or as a server, you are prompted to Allow or Deny the
application's access to the network interface. When you allow or deny
an application through the popup dialog box that appears as your
application attempts to access an outside network, an
application-based firewall rule is created or modified in the
Application Table.
