All I want to do is open some WKS spreadsheets

If that WKS spreadsheet is from:

* Microsoft Works, then download OxygenOffice from
 http://sourceforge.net/projects/ooop/;
* Deskmate, then hire somebody to write a program to convert them to ODF;
* Apple ][, then hire somebody to write a program to convert them to ODF;
* Lotus 123, then your current version of OOo _should_ open it. (I've forgotten which versions of Lotus 123 OOo can open. However, the WKS file specifications were stable for most of its life on Dos and OS/2.)

* Something else, then we'll need more data, but it probably will require writing a program to convert it to ODF format.

I get a display in arabic with no menu option to change the display.

Assuming you are using OOo, then:
>Tools >Options >Language >Language Settings >User Interface, and select English, or whatever language you want the UI to be in, from the drop down menu.

I don't have an Arabic UI on this installation, so I can't do a screen shot showing what/where those commands are.

All this and 30 minutes to download everything after paying $29.95.

I don't know who you paid your $29.95 to, but I'd suggest contacting them for support.

[email protected] is a mailing list, whose respondents volunteer their time and energy to helping people use OpenOffice.org.

OOo itself is distributed gratis from http://download.openoffice.org/.
