I have AutocadLT 2015....changed the format to CLASSIC style. I am missing the ATTACH EXTERNAL REFERENCE dialog box and cannot make xrefs...how do I find the missing box? The attachment is the dialog box I am missing....

The directions for changing came from AUUTODESK support
Directions: In 2D Drafting space, turn off ribbon with RIBBON CLOSE COMMAND
then turn on old menu with MENUBAR COMMAND
Set it to 1, Save your current workspace and Save As AUTOCAD CLASSIC.
This gave me back the old style workspace I am used to from 2002LT...has all toolbars so I can customize...but the ATTACH EXTERNAL REFERENCE dialog box that is supposed to come up either with the tool icon clicked, Tools, or View, or Insert does not appear. The attachment was a picture straight out of the Autocad Bible by Ellen Finkelstein.
So you just turned off the Ribbon, OK. did you type the commands I suggested? What happens? These may be off screen if you look for the correct pop-up and not your screenshot image; is your AutoCAD window fully maximized? Or are you ignoring the initial pop-ups, see below.
Look at this screenshot: the image in the back is what comes up first when you launch XREF command, the one in the front only comes up AFTER you select a file to attached from the first image.
This next one is the CLASSICXREF command's first pop-up (looks like LT2002's XREF command), the second pop-up you want appears, again, after the file is selected from the first pop-up:
