Another question

yes, its the command to (c)hange (d)irectory. It also works in Windows. So if you want to manipulate the files on your desktop easily you would run:

cd ~/Desktop

for example. What are you trying to install??

I need to read more about this terminal but not much time at the moment.

I'm trying to install Page Plus X5. When I searched in the forum for programs that would run in Linux I discovered Page Plus X5 would but now I can't find the page that told me that.

Tried with playonlinux and just with wine and not having much joy just yet. I think it's because with such a limited understanding I'm handicapped from the start. Programs load dead easy in windows but there is obviously a knack to getting windows programs to run in Linux. Now I know what CD is I am navigating to where the .exe file is but when I double click it I get:-

The file '/home/mick/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/PagePlus X5/setup.exe' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied form an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit.

I clicked the link about executable bit but at this stage don't understand what it's telling me.

I posted recently that I managed to get most parts of Lotus working but goodness knows how I managed it. If you asked me I couldn't tell you. I started with a PC at age 50 and now 11 years on all I know has been self taught. Wish I'd know about Linux 10 or so years ago.

Gets a gold rating so there will be a few issues. What does the app do?

You will need to run:

chmod +x /home/mick/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program\ Files/PagePlus\ X5/setup.exe

To satisfy the error you got.
