When I right-clicked on the .sh link, there was no "download" option, so I opened it in a separate tab. The browser tried to load it as a text file. I was able to right-click on the page and do a "save as", with a ".sh" extension, but when I tried to open it through terminal, it said "sh: 0: Can't open lilypond-2.19.81-1.linux-64.sh". Any suggestions? I just tried again, both in /Downloads and at my :~$ prompt, and in both cases got "sudo: sh: command not found". Ralph -- Ralph Palmer Brattleboro, VT USA palmer.r.vio...@gmail.com
