You guessed it, I'm a newbie!
So I downloaded a MUD client, amcl, in RPM format, and installled it while as the root using the redhat pachage manager.
Now I can't find the program any more (though the download in still in my usr/bin)
and I can't figure out how to launch it.
I can't find an icon, there's nothing new in my panel, I tried to do it from the command line using an ampersand after the program name("amcl &"), typing "cd amcl", etc.
Can anyone lend me a quarter so I can get a clue?

find / -name amcl
locate amcl
whereis amcl

for the locate command, you might need to run updatedb first to make sure the locate database is current.

I would guess that it is in /usr/local/bin
