If you only need to prepare and read documents, have you considered
abiword instead?

Yes, I would like to try this program. Can you please tell me how to
install it? It would literally be my first Linux program I installed
(other than what I did with RHAT over 10 years ago, which I don't
remember). Would it, for example (I am using default directory names
that came with installation for Damn Small Linux) go under "/sbin"? Do I
log in under 'root' (http://www.linfo.org/root.html), then what, drag
and drop (i.e., copy) the executable binary I download from
abisource.com to what directory?

Thanks in advance,

Hey NoBalls - there is a reason that Linux distributions have
'repositories' and 'package managers'. This ain't MS - it's easy.
