      Last week, somebody handed me a paper to read, but the damned thing is upside-down. I'm still trying to figure it out.

      Applications -> accessories -> terminal

      That's what I did, but you still have to press the enter key after the command in the terminal. commodore64_love (1445365) wants a solution that only requires the use of the mouse.
