[QUOTE="Family_Dog, post: 113197, member: 82"] I had double-clicked on the jar file, and this gave me the second screen shot in my post #10 above. Prior to this, I tried installing Java according to these steps: 1. Open Terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal 2. Next, type the following into the terminal: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-fonts sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin and press Enter 3. Wait until it loads entirely, then the terminal will change into an old-fashioned window with no mouse user interface. Use the down arrow to scroll down until you can't scroll further. Then press the right arrow and hit enter to accept the license agreement. 4. After accepting the license agreement, Java will download and it will ask you several questions about configuration which you should choose based on what you want. After trying to puzzle out the "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-fonts sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin" problem for over half an hour, I eventually got somewhere, but only to be told that the particular version of Java is not available. Would this have been replaced perhaps by a newer version of Java? Thanks for all your patience, I am at the bottom end of a learning curve! -F_D [/QUOTE]
