You can do either of the following to run: /usr/local/netscape/netscape
or cd /usr/local/netscape ./netscape You can also add /usr/local/netscape to your path and then type: netscape from anywhere. I come from a DOS/Windows background and I got used to entering the app name in the current directory. Someone mentioned that in Linux, the current directory is not considered part of the path (unless it is in the PATH environment already) so you need to use ./appname.
