Logged in as root, put in password, ran

and the file ran fine.

Is there no su in Debian?  If not what replaces it?

Now I need some kind of prefix to put in the icon properties
so that symantic will run in admin mode, otherwise it can't
download anything.

Thanx,  doug
I think you've missed the -c parameter.
Try :
su  -c  /usr/sbin/synaptic
