The Linux is a not too old Ubuntu.

I think the problem was that I wasn't double-clicking on the correct file
(etoys.sh). I will give that a try on my sons laptop this weekend. If
that fails I will try Subbu's suggestion above.
I now have another question buy I will ask it in another post as I don't
want to change the subject of this thread yet again.
Thanks for all the help, Lou
