Okay, after closer examination and thought:

Remember how it took awhile for my tranny to catch into drive. Yeah...

The tranmission already takes 5 minutes to warm-up. When I put it in Reverse which works immediatly, the engine will slowly die out. It takes about five seconds or so. I can drop it into Neutral without a problem. When Drive won't catch and acts like Neutral, the engine is fine. Once Drive can catch, it dies unless I lay on the gas. If I'm on the break and stopped, it will die.

This dieing takes a bit longer of a warm-up to end, maybe ten minutes.

Any ideas? I'm probably going to replace the transmission, the shift column, and linkage soon.

So, what I need to be looking at, from what people have been telling me, is:
Drive Clutch
Modulator Valve
Torque Converter
Transmission Sensor
Burnt Clutch or Band

Any idea why the engine stalls thought?
