Could someone tell me please as in steps 1,2 and 3
how do I assign a program to be recognised from outside of its own directory.
I've downloaded Phoenix .5 [very good] but I would like to have Suse know where it is so that all other programmes can recognise it.
You need to edit your path. If you use C shell, the command is set path=(directory/containing/program $path) or in Bourne shell: export PATH=directory/containing/program:$PATH
You can add this command to your own .cshrc (C shell) or .profile (Bourne shell) in your home directory, and it will only work for you, or you can add it to /etc/csh.cshrc (C shell) or /etc/profile (Bourne shell), and it will work for all users.
