Shawn,
I am impressed. I used the command you recommended and got the
following output:
[root@cx47716-b /root]# updatedb &
[1] 792
[root@cx47716-b /root]# locate WordPerfect
/usr/share/apps/kappfinder/WordProcessing/WordPerfect.kdelnk
/usr/share/apps/kappfinder/apps/Applications/WordPerfect.kdelnk
/Downloads/WordPerfect8
/Downloads/WordPerfect8/WordPerfect.tar.gz
/Downloads/WordPerfect8/Readme
/Downloads/WordPerfect8/Runme
/Downloads/WordPerfect8/b_req00.bk
/Downloads/WordPerfect8/b_req01.bk
/Downloads/WordPerfect8/b_us00.bk
/Downloads/WordPerfect8/g_req00.bk
/Downloads/WordPerfect8/g_req02.bk
/Downloads/WordPerfect8/g_req03.bk
/Downloads/WordPerfect8/g_us00.bk
/Downloads/WordPerfect8/g_us01.bk
/Downloads/WordPerfect8/.wpdata
/Downloads/WordPerfect8/b_ins00.bk
/Downloads/WordPerfect8/b_ins01.bk
/Downloads/WordPerfect8/g_req01.bk
/Program Files/WordPerfect8
[1]+ Done
But tell me, what does this mean? It looks like it simply did a search
on the keyword 'WordPerfect'. Where does this info come from? What db
is referred to using the 'updatedb' command? And lastly, how can I use
this info to 'fix' my non-functioning installation of WordPerfect?
I just went to those two files at the top 'WordPerfect.kdelnk' and
clicked once on each but got a pop-up message that said "Could not
execute program xwp". If I could I'd
try an uninstall and then try to reinstall. Do you know how to
uninstall a non-rpm application?
Just did a search for a file 'xwp' and found nothing.

Oh, btw, forgot to mention that you can find anything using the
locate
command... but it uses a database to do that. Since you just
installed,
first, as root, run
updatedb &
and then when that's done (give it a while) you can do
locate WordPerfect
(it's case sensitive, beware).

<p>But tell me, what does this mean? I don't know if it's fair to
ask you to break it down line by line, but if it's not too much trouble,
I would appreciate it. Where does this info come from? What
db is hidden within the dark interiors? And lastly, how can I use
this info to 'fix' my non-functioning installation of WPerfect?
<p>I just went to those two files at the top 'WordPerfect.kdelnk' and clicked
