What happens whn you type netscape or the name of the game(s) in a
terminal? You should get some error messages that'll help us.

Well thats a more difficult and controversial question. StarOffice is
quite good. If you are looking for a WYSIWYG word processor this is your
choice I guess. But it's big (it's an all in one OfficeSuite). It's free
and especially StarWriter is very compatible with MSWord. You'll get a
restricted ADABAS for SO as an extra download from the SUN site.
