Using 1.4 When I receive an email attachment I am, by right clicking on the paper clip, given the choice to either save it or open it. Saving is no problem as I can navigate to my home directory easily but it is the open option that is giving the grief. Where can I find: 1. OpenOffice.org 2. Adobe Acrobat Reader as these are the two I most use.

Both are included on the CD/DVD sets. Try 'pin' to find out. Theo -- Theo v.

Both are included on the CD/DVD sets. Try 'pin' to find out. I know that they are on the CD set. In fact both the apps are installed but it is the location of the binaries/executables that I am looking for so as to open the attachments without having to save them first?

I assume you are looking for the executables.
Where can I find: 1. OpenOffice.org
/opt/OpenOffice.org1.1.0/program/swriter
2. Adobe Acrobat Reader

man whereis Tnx Joe.
I gave it a try like: whereis -b / adobe and the system returned a whole stack of locations? I even tried acrobat in place of adobe and got much the same response. What is wrong with the whereis command syntax? Never mind, I saw I was not reading the result correctly. It didn't find anything for adobe or acrobat but it did for acroread.
