I tried what you suggest, and here is what happened:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ oowriter 
The program 'oowriter' is currently not installed.  You can install it
by typing:
sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-writer
bash: oowriter: command not found

So what should I do? I already have OO on my computer-- I do not need to
install it. Why won't Writer open with the command you've given?

ok, but will the error message automatically come in terminal once I've
opened Writer via terminal? Or do I have to request the error message,
once the error comes?

Thanks,

OpenOffice, please note, is the name of the *office* suite. If you were 
(are) a power Windows user, you'll know MS-Word has its application 
named winword. Similarly, openoffice, under Ubuntu can be started at 
the terminal by typing 

[EMAIL PROTECTED]: ~$ oowriter 

(Similarly, you can start Impress (presentation), Calc (spreadsheet) 
using the following commands, oocalc). 

A better way to find out, what applications you can start from command 
line, in your office suit, is to type "oo" and then press tabs (once or 
twice) to list the Office suit's available apps.

I hope, you'll now be able to fire up Oo from the command line. :)

How would I "check" for this.

I doubt it, because I've been using this computer for almost ten years,
and never had any such problem before even when doing much more
demanding tasks than word processing.

And it is very unlikely to be cpu overheating, because it can happen at
the very beginning of a session i.e. in the first minute. Which would be
before anything would have overheated. 

And even after it happens, I can go on doing other tasks just fine. It
seems to be only the SCIM/OO that crashes.

Swarup

It can happen equally after 30 seconds or after long use. The time seems
irrelevant-- it just happens randomly. Sometimes when I start typing, it
happens 4 times in the first 2-3 minutes. Sometimes it doesn't have
until 90 minutes into a session. And according to my memory, sometimes
it doesn't happen at all. But usually it happens at least once or twice
in a two-hour session, or usually more than that.

I haven't been using terminal lately, and I've forgotten how to run
OpenOffice from terminal. Here below are my failed attempts:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ run openoffice.org
bash: run: command not found
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ openoffice.org
bash: openoffice.org: command not found

If you tell me how to run it from terminal then I'll do so. Then when
the crash happens, I guess an error message will show up automatically
in terminal? Or will I have to request for one.

ok.
