Hi everyone...
     Thank you for all of the help.
      There seems to be a big difference between different distributions of
Linux, as far as how the Path's are set up etc.  Yes I am running BASH, and
I am getting problems similar to what Irv wrote.
     I am thinking that this is one of those cases that the Slackware
website wrote about:
Supposedly the newest version of Slackware has libc6 instead of libc5, which
could cause it to be incompatible with older binaries.  I thought that this
might not be the case, as I am running an older version of Xwindows on it
with no problems (other than an incomplete list of graphics cards).
    I spent the whole 3 day weekend trying to get it running, and will try
using some of the exacting examples I just received, as I don't know enouph
about linux config files to do it just from a description (But thanks to
those people also)  I am garnering a broader understanding of the system
from your help.
    I will try one of the other distributions.  I do have an older copy of
Debian around here somewhere.

PS Rob, my computer teacher from when I was in High School and I talked the
other day, and I told him about your port to Linux, and he was real
interested.  He has been kind of turning up his nose at regular Eu for a
while, because he can't see the need to learn another Language just to
teach.  But he seemed real excited about this.  His last words were ("Death
to Microsoft") ( a quote that has really nothing to to do with any of us on
this list Mr. Gates :)
    There are really quite a few Linux converts out there and the numbers
are growing.  ( Can't wait to get it running and PLAY!!!!)
