Body: <p>Currently trying to set up PayPal Pro as a Payment Processor in Civi 4.6.7, following the instructions here:</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/PayPal+Website+Payments+Pro+and+Express+Configuration" rel="nofollow">http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/PayPal+Website+Payments+Pro+and+Express+Configuration</a></p>
  
  <p>Am I right in thinking that this requires the PayPal Classic API instead of the PayPal REST API? The instructions seem to differ quite a lot from what is presented on PayPal Dev.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
