You only have to find out where it is.. :-)
Then you put yourself in /home/user, that's where you are whenever you open a new xterm, or whenever you just enter 'cd' in an xterm.
Then specify the path to where the file is, e.g. tar zxvf MyDocs/sheep.tar or MyDocs/.documents/sheep.tar (you see, I don't know exactly which path is used for mass storage, I haven't used it). You can always find it with
find . -name sheep.tar
in an xterm.
I got as far as opening it, but I get 'permission denied'.
I'm obviously doing something very stupid.

Sorry, I'm stupid...
Here is the package:

Go to Terminal.
Gain root.
Go to the directory, where the package is.
Do
You can now exit root (just type 'exit').
Type 'sheep'.
It should work
To remove (as root):

try executing
chmod 777 sheep_pack
This should allow you to open it.

@rcull, could you elaborate on those directions? Is it up and down (it can seem tricky)?

Ok, I'm not sure exactly what you did - what do you mean by 'opening' it?
The steps are:
1: Download the file, e.g. to your PC
2: Copy it to the N900. I _think_ it will end up in /home/user/MyDocs/ then.
3: Open an xterm
4: There should now be a file /home/user/MyDocs/sheep.tar, you can check with
5: Unpack it with the command
6: Run the program with
(Note leading '.' in ./sheep)
EDIT: hopbeat beat me to it with a proper .deb package.

Hopbeat
As I said it might be just my expectations but if I tilt the 900 forward I would expect the attractor to move forwards not backwards ( roll down the slope as it were ) the same with tilting left and right.
I'm surre I could eventually get used to it but it all seem diametrically opposite to what I instinctively expect.

@RevdKathy
gain root and do
This should fix the problem.
I know that it should be done through repo, but I just wanted to share how it looks right now and where it goes.

Code:
apt-get install libqt4-gui

Now you're sorry you let yourself get talked into this by someone who knows ZILCH about code, aren't you. *sigh*
I want to see SHEEP! (Sobs)
