That "command" path would be
/Applications/OpenOffice.org1.0.1/program/soffice for most setups
Supposing, of course, that one had just downloaded OpenOffice.org 1.0.1
and installed it in the Applications folder.
You can get to the /user directories using the finder's Go To folder
menu option and type the name in.
These are invisible Unix folders where the innards of programs are
stored. local and usr are nominally for folks that want to download
program files and install them without worrying that you are
overwriting a necessary bit of system file. (/local is not there btw,
but /usr/local may be) Nominally is the operative word here, because
some programs still don't play well together (Fink and the .mac version
of Virex come to mind).
