TIA > Mr. Graber, It shouldn't be that different. If you don't have a paper copy of the Getting Started booklet, check the web version at http://documents.wolfram.com/mathematica/GettingStarted/. There is a Troubleshooting section at http://documents.wolfram.com/mathematica/GettingStarted/System- SpecificInformation/Troubleshooting/TroubleshootingOnUnixLinux.html By any chance, does the cursor look like a hand? If the Mod2 key (usually NumLock) is set, behavior is different. See http://support.wolfram.com/mathematica/systems/linux/interface/ cursor.html http://support.wolfram.com/mathematica/systems/linux/general/ configurenumlock.html If these do not help, feel free to write Tech Support (support at wolfram.com) with a description and what you've tried. Does the bare kernel (math) work? Bruce Miller Technical Support Wolfram Research, Inc. support at wolfram.com http://support.wolfram.com/
