As with most of Linux it aint easy, but it can be done :)

HOW Can I open documents in the graphical interface ie (Ctrl-Alt-F7) 
from using the cli? True Linuxers use the cli and find it OK, right? So 
why is it so difficult to explain how to open a file in the designated 
viewer?

Wouild it not be something like $> /document/dir/docname :0 to open the 
document in Ctrl-Alt-F7?

If the document was to be opened in Ctrl-Alt-F8 then wouldn't it be
$> /document/dir/docname :1 ?

I have not tried any of this as I have reached the limits of my 
knowledge/experience and need input.
