Thanks Rodney,
Well, with Terminal, I got it working Thanks! But you are
right about it being a PITA. For someone who hasn't done anything
unix for more than a decade, and not much then, there are a lot of
ways to mistype something.
Speaking as a Mac user, and no criticism of hardworking
developers intended, but the feel is pretty much Windows (or maybe
Sun?). OpenOffice is clearly a very large project having come a long
way. Still with rough edges and large challenges, however. I'd really
like to support it and dump the corporatocracy options. Philosophy
and motivation is right on. So far, on a basis of a short trial of
Writer, I'd have to say it's not real comfortable user-wise for me.
I'll give a longer trial and keep checking in.
Thanks again for the help.
Regards, -Dick

On a new MacBook (10.5.2), download worked fine, install seemed

Xterm running. OO showed up in the Dock and the Menu bar. Just
bounced in the Dock. Would not quit. I had to force quit.

The way around it, and it is a PITA (pain in the a**), is to start
from the terminal;
sh "/Applications/OpenOffice.org 2.4.app/Contents/MacOS/soffice"
