Installing program?
Can anybody please explain where I go from here?..............Downloaded e.g. scrabble and did a search:
scrabble: /usr/games/scrabble /usr/share/man/man6/scrabble.6.gz
I haven't a clue what to do next? I would be more than grateful for some simple instructions.
Thank you !

I am a tad embarrassed with this but it will help me in the future I'm sure ! I was expecting it to open in the gui when I try to initiate it through K > run command. Also, not in the menu. Thank you once again for your help.
Use: /usr/games/scrabble <level> (where level is 1 to 9)

This may seem a bit simplistic, but did the website where you got the program from mention anything about a gui? This seems to be a ncurses (text-based) application.

LOL Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted.
