Is this what you are referring to?

Steven, try as someone else suggested, to use the program ps2pdf on ur 
linux box. on a terminal, cd to the directory containing the .ps file, 
and type in the terminal: ps2pdf mozilla.ps mozilla.pdf (or whatever the 
name of the file is) if ps2pdf is not installed on ur system, it will 
complain, and it would tell you what package is needed to have this 
ps2pdf program, and trust, it's a very helpful error message, that will 
tell you the exact command needed to get the program :-) give it a try

Were you able to read the screen print I sent in the last email?  It 
shows my efforts to comply with the instruction as well as an experiment 
that seemed to try to work.  I saved the file to the desktop.  When I 
typed in cd desktop, or then cd /desktop, or sudo cd desktop, thinking 
maybe it was a root entry, I did not get anything.  When I typed in 
mozilla.ps mozilla.pdf, I got what is on the attachment of this email.  
I hope you can see I do not understand the instruction very well.  I 
hope I am not frustrating you with my ignorance.
