Hello Dmitry,

That's it! Now that you mention it, I do recall running Illustrator from the
~/Adobe/Illustrator directory when I ran it the first time. It tried it
again and it worked. Thank you!

Now, if I can only figure out why it won't open any files (other than the
four in the history list under the file menu), or place, or save as...

Everything else seems to work okay.
