This doesn't work at all for me, either. View is fine, but hitting Enter does nothing. Lindsay, if you hit Ctrl-o after such an operation you should be able to see what the shell returned. When I hit enter on binutils_2.8.1-2.deb, for example, I get ./binutils_2.8.1-2.deb: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `!<arch>' ./binutils_2.8.1-2.deb: line 1: `!<arch>' -- Michael D.
