How do I install a .bin. I downloaded a Java plugin needed to run some tests by the isp.

I must restrain myself from doing an Abott and Costello number on "more or 
less"...

Read up about "filters" and "pipes".  more (or less) is a filter.  Probably 
the majority of Unix commands actually work as filters, which means that they 
accept input on stdin, do something to it, and output it on stdout.  Like 
most filters, though, more (or less) will accept a file argument from which it 
will read, rather than stdin.  You generally give input to a filter by 
outputting from one program on stdout, piping it (|)  to stdin of the filter 
program.

Therefore:

> less file.txt
is equivalent to:

> cat file.txt | less
or even:

> cat file.txt | less -

(a single "-" often works in programs that don't normally read stdin to say 
that the input file _is_ stdin)

I can't resist any longer: And that's more or less the whole thing...

Once you've learned all this, then you get into file redirection...
