I am very well acquainted with APT.  Thanks. :-)  (I ran SuSE  for a couple
years.)  Speaking of which, I did not mention that I attempted to install
several pkgs --only after going to the web site specified in
Ste-boilerhouse's post-- and was met with failure on each & every pkg.  The
sources list had scads of depositories listed & it seems to me that one of
the many pkgs I entered (apt-get install [filename]) would have d/l rather
than giving me apt's equivalent of 'not found'.  :-\  Hm.
