[SLUG] openoffice question

Hello, All,
What does "openoffice-2.0 -writer %U" (or something like that) mean?
Is the %U a path or summat?

Updated to OpenOffice 2.0.2
All usual stuff:  need to put .desktop files in /usr/share/applications 
to get menus working properly; have to do enormous hunts to find 
suitable icons and suggest them in the .desktop file; need to set up 
panel launcher for OO again (hence the question above) and the icon.  
Have actually told it to go looking for 
"/opt/openoffice.org2.0/program/soffice".  Works fine.  Can't find the 
old .png that shows the seagulls though (reminds me of Scarborough - ah, 
happy days).  What advice.

Incidentally, did an update with "rpm -Uvh *rpm" to 2.0.2, and then, 
just for fun, also did a complete uninstall of that and a complete new 
install of 2.0.2.  Result identical in both cases.  At least it's 
consistent (thought appearance just not quite as good as 2.0.1, but 
there you go, that's just taste).

Thanks,
Martin
