Going into YaST --> Software Management is exactly 
what I DID do.  I did a search for freecell: "No results".
Then, taking your earlier advice, I redid the search 
three times.  Same "No results" -- what a surprise!

Now I realize my mistake: I forgot to include 
"Descriptions" in the search.  Stupid mistake! -- yes.
Indicates a lack of patience -- I agree with you here.

How I managed to miss koffice is even harder to explain.
I went through the KDE list line by line, and still, 
somehow, missed it.

Once again, I'm not "bitching" or complaining.  I'm 
simply trying to rebuild the cozy servicable system I 
had under 3.5, and reporting on my experience.  I'm not 
expecting help, but I appreciate help when it is kindly
offered.  Thank you for directing me to the above 
programs.
