   I just doubleclick on it in the home directory, it's a gui app. I just   
   tried getting there through terminal and found it (just HelloWorld with   
   no file extension using ls -l) and typed HelloWorld at the command prompt   
   but got something like No Such Command. Maybe I have to do something else   
   in Linux to execute a program? In old RMS days we need to type Run or   
   something as I recall. It's been a while. I'll check my Linux for Dummies   
   in 24 Hours or whatever I have when I get to work. We use Linux (RedHat)   
   for some of our servers so I needed to know some basic commands.
