How do you mean open it?

In Xterm?

Code:

$ cd /home/user/apps/dosbox/

to see the files in there:

Code:

$ ls

or with more details:

Code:

$ ls -la

You can use "vi", a text based editor but it's not for the faint-hearted!

Or use leafpad (install it first via the app manager), then

Code:

$ leafpad file-to-edit.txt
