I don't see the "limiter" option under the "effect" pulldown ?

Perhaps you are using an old version of Audacity.
The current version is Audacity 2.1.1. Look in "Help > About Audacity" to check the version number.
If your version is not 2.1.1, then get the current version from here:

In the list of effects, look below the dividing line.

Found it,
I did look there before, not sure why I didn't see it, maybe I had to restart the PC 1st ??
In any case I ran as mentioned and it did work, although not much of an increase ?
I played both, and to the ear, it might have gained one click on a volume dial....
So is there a way to get even more vol ?

In the Limiter, increase the "Input Gain" and/or decrease the "Limit to" setting.
If it is a stereo track, both *Left and Right" Input Gain settings should be the same. If the track is mono, only the first (Input Gain, Left/Mono" is used.
Note that at extreme settings, it will start to sound weird

No, one objective of the Plug-in Manager is that you don't need to restart Audacity after enabling plugins.

made adjustments as described and worked.
Now a follow up question, if you had to do many of these, is there a way to write a script file
to adjust/change the same parameters that audacity did ?

What exact step and settings did you use to achieve the desired result?
