You would put them into your single.php page as
<?php previous_in_series(); ?> etc, where you want them to appear. I doubt you want them all, but it might be worth putting all 4 in, seeing which you want and then removing the others.
If you look at the wiki page it has a bit more information.

Some thing like ‘in-series’?

As far as I know, the big MT plus is being able to administer multiple blogs from one interface, the big WP plus is free, as in beer.
From personal experience, WP is far easier to install. On my local machine, WP can be installed in (literally) 2 minutes. I gave up trying to install MT after several hours even with tutorials and manuals.

You could try using one of the runphp type plugins. You could then use either a plugin like customisable post listing to display the post you want, or maybe use get_posts to create an extra loop in the page (I don’t know what would happen with a get_posts loop in a page, there might be some loop within a loop weirdness).

Try replacing <?php get_sidebar(); ?> with <?php include "sidebar.php"; ?> Don’t forget to backup first though.

If you need the link cats in a specific order, have you looked at using wp_get_linksbyname or get_linksbyname to call each link list individually?
