Dear Dan,

You ask very clear questions. You also seem open to accepting my
assertions as sincere. Thank you! I will also try to make them accurate
and succinct.

Q. Which windows manager are you using?

A. Gnome. 

Q. Have you used your file manager ... to locate the root installation
of OOo1.l.4

A. I have used both the Nautilus 2.4.0 file manager and the default 
search GUI. Based on content volume, the root installation of OOo1.1.4
appears to be "/usr/lib/openoffice/".

That's my best guess without another way to confirm the impression,
except that it contains a "help" directory. The other two (unlikely)
candidates in root are
"/usr/lib/gnumeric/1.2.1-bonobo/plugins/openoffice/" and
"/usr/share/doc/openoffice.org-1.1.0/."
The many other "openoffice" directories in root are subordinates
of"/usr/lib/openoffice/".

The only instance of "1.1.4" added to "openoffice" is the directory
"OpenOffice.org 1.1.4" in the user section.

Q. Is it [the root installation of OOo1.l.4] a subdirectory of "opt"?

A. No.

Q. What are the subdirectories of /opt/OpenOffice.org/help ?

A. The directory "/opt" contains nothing. Only one path contains an 
"open office" folder with a subordinate "help" folder." It is
"/usr/lib/openoffice/help/." Its subdirectories are "en" (for english ?)
and 18 others with short titles that appear to be language codes. It
also contains one file, "maintransform.xsl." If you need expansions of
any or all of these directories, speak but the word.

Your questions are clear, to the point and cast no aspersions. Their
respectful attitude is not only extremely welcome but also absolutely
essential. Past correspondence in this in this thread and scolding
