[CLUE-Tech] If I want to install a program to extract "rar" files?

[Joe Linux]

Thanks a lot.  It takes a certain familiarity with the system to even 
know what you are looking at.  That's why think a special class for 
novice (GUI Lover) Linux users would be in order.  I don't think a KISS 
session alone would be good enough, because I feel I would need hands on 
experience in going through the steps - step by step.  I was able to 
unpack the file and then compress a new different one and email it to 
the other guy in England.
