Hi Olin
Well I left the board powered but it was no accident.
I expected that if the -VDD option was not invoked it would try to read the
target without supplying power.
I suppose I could break down and "READ" the instructions someday.

The target seemed to survive it just fine but when I supply power with
target board powered using the ICD2 it damages the circuitry of the RF
board.

So is it safe to say the Pro_prog will not operate with out trying to supply
power?

Yes the programmer will power the target at 5V while trying to identify it.
The strange thing is that Vdd never gets down to 0.  Maybe you accidentally
left the board powered on?  Hopefully nothing broke if that was the case.

Please try the things I asked you.
