After much digging around I finally got it to work. Why is this stuff not clearly spelled out somewhere?
You are correct about the ability to trigger the next action, this can be done from the previous action once it is completed.
How can this be accomplished?
The end of the previous action is when the form is saved by the user.
Where can this form be found?
This form is not automatically shown, it is hidden in the UX interface and you have to click on the โShow system viewsโ near the bottom of the page.
Once this opens you will see the form view specific to the current table, this form is automatically generated and is responsible for the interface and fields that need to be completed before the save button is applied by the user.
In this form under the Behavior section can be found the Event Action โForm Savedโ and next to it is the drop down menu where the next action can be found. As you said before this action has to be pre-configured in the Main Behavior Section for the current table.
So yes, thanks for the help. Now I can cascade these actions as needed,
but it would be much easier if the LINKTOFORM() could be used directly on the beginning table.
Andโฆ yes you gave the solution but for the sake of clarity I have marked my post as the solution. Hope that is ok with you.
You need to split up your action stack (I call the grouped actions โStacksโ because in the editorโฆ itโsโฆ a stack of actions. 
).
In the event action for the form in action 2 (Journal_Form), put action 3 there; then in Shipping_Formโs even action, insert action 4; etc.

There is a lot to spell out, and they do their best. I understand the frustration, we all do; AppSheet has a steep learning curve that weโve all had to go through.
By all means, yes! Love the detail you gave, anyone trying to solve a similar problem will find this very helpful.
