Shawn,
I am impressed.  I used the command you recommended and got the following output:

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?

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?

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).
