Probably a script that invokes an interpreter you don't have (did Corel
use csh?), or invalid permissions. Check the file with 'file' and/or by
eyeballing it (less/more) to see what it is and what it *should* be
doing.
I'd also strongly recommend you take a look at Rick Moen's painfully
complete Wordperfect on GNU/Linux FAQ:
