ThanksRe: Set screen size for Ubuntu

After hours of searching, and following blind leads, I've found a solution:
What is, in other distros, a simple matter of clicking a button and typing in the name of a program, in the latest Ubuntu requires:
As root, create a euphoria.desktop file in /usr/share/applications, containing:
[Desktop Entry] Name=Euphoria Comment=4.1 Exec=/usr/local/bin/eui Type=Application StartupNotify=false Terminal=false Categories=Programming;As root, edit /etc/gnome/defaults.list, changing: text/plain=gedit.desktop to: text/plain=euphoria.desktop
All this work will set eui as the default to run *any* plain text file, unless you select "Open with other application" from a right click, and select Text Editor or Geany...
And Euphoria *still* does not show up on the list of available applications.
That, and the fact that there are no useful programs available from the Ubuntu Software repository, means this DVD is now in the trash.
