What do you mean when you say that it doesn't work. Does the application not launch properly? If it isn't launching properly, and you have the latest OS update 10.2.4 then I would first repair your disk permissions with Disk Utility, and see if that works.

Yeah. That will probably fix it. About the terminal, the "is" command isn't working on my Mac. <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

what is the "is" command supposed to do? i don't seem to have it either. did you mean "ls"? and when you say it didn't work, what happened that wasn't expected?
