     Command line to run LO 4.0 (or earlier versions as well) in linux:
/opt/libreoffice4.0/program/soffice.  (Note, you could use sbase, scalc, 
etc. instead of soffice.)
     When Ubuntu installs it version of LO, it puts a script that 
starts LO in Path$. So, if you want to use the command line, add 
/opt/libreoffice4.0/program to Path$. Then use sbase, scalc, sdraw, 
simpress, or soffice in the command line. Ubuntu will know what to do 
with it.
     What I do is to add a menu to the top panel. Within it, I have the 
icons (tools?) that will open the particular version of a program such 
as LO that I want. You have to edit the Applications menu first creating 
a new menu. Then add the new menu to the top panel. (There is a little 
more to do with this though.)
