Hi All,
Anybody having any trouble with installing the files using the terminal?
Can I copy the commands all at once and past the in the terminal window?
You can copy and paste most of the commands except for commands 2, 3, and 4. Those commands require you to replace the quoted words with something else. For example, here is what commands 2, 3, and 4 look like after replacement on my machine:
I just downloaded and installed the Dutch help files using the instructions at:
I unpacked the whole mess manually, recombined it into a folder and moved that into the file hierarchy. Took a little longer but at least I knew what was going on .
Feel free to e-mail me in Dutch if you can't figure it out.. _________________ "What do you think of Western Civilization?"

I just answered, in private mail, to a french user who made a mistake while using these instructions to install help files.
I post below a suggestion for an improved shell script.
The best method is to save it as an executable text file named install_help.command .
Edit: This file does not need user modification and should be available for download.
Thus it can be double-clicked from the finder, will launch the Terminal application and ask for dragging relevant icons in the Terminal window.
This is to avoid manual command line editing.
If it's useful, I can make a small applescript on wich one can drag the help file archive.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
echo "Please drag the NeoOffice/J Aplication icon in this window, then hit return.
Glisser l'icône de l'application NeoOffice/J dans cette fenêtre, puis valider.
"
read neoj
NEOJ_HELP_DIR="${neoj}/Contents/help"
echo "
Please drag the downloaded help file package icon in this window, then hit return
Glisser l'icône du paquet de fichier d'aide dans cette fenêtre, puis valider.
"
read NEOJ_HELP_FILE

Max, this is a great idea! While the Terminal is a wonderful thing to have available, part of the "purpose" of Neo/J is to make simple and OOo Mac-like for users, and aside from the blue buttons, the only really UNIX-y/CLI part still exposed to the end users is installing localized help files.
I wonder if you should include a brief line about why the password is needed for those who don't like to enter passwords without explanation/clear understanding (Wouldn't it be cool if AppleScript would let you display the standard OS X authentication dialogue....)
