Isnt' there a 'sloppy joe' sandwich mix with that name :-) [3]

As Mario pointed out, 'which' _might_ work _if_ you know the name of the
executable. But try entering:
$ which File Browser [1]
or
$ which writer or which OpenOffice.org Word Processor[2]

You see it isn't quite that easy.

[1] This is what the user sees in the Applications|Accessories menu. You
and I know it is actually 'nautilus', but many (most?) don't.

[2] The user knows that when OpenOffice.org Writer opens up it's called
'Writer', the the menu item shows "OpenOffice.org Word Processor".
