John,
The message that seamonkey-installer is a directory means you would need to 
enter the directory first, thus the cd ./seamonkey-installer command I 
mentioned.
If it still complains, then I would have a look at the seamonkey folder you 
created and see what it contains. You should have, if you followed the 
instructions from the Mozilla site, 
A folder called seamonkey1.1.2, containing a folder called xpi, a 
seamonkey-installer-bin and 5 other text type files, one of which is called 
seamonkey-installer. That one is a shell script which is what we are trying 
to get to work. 
I would take a look at the folder called seamonkey1.1.2 and look around in 
there - check that you have the various bits I mentioned. Once you find the 
seamonkey-installer script, you could simply put the full path to it into a 
command line eg

sh /home/john/seamonkey1.1.2/seamonkey-installer/seamonkey-installer 
or whatever the path is. In the example above, I am assuming that the script 
is in a folder called seamonkey-installer, which is in the seamonkey1.1.2 
folder.

If it would help, feel free to email me off the list and I am happy to work 
through it with you step by step if it would help.
I am a little surprised that there isn't a version of seamonkey in the Ubuntu 
repositories actually - but I did check and there doesn't seem to be. 

Cheers,
Mark
