I found I had to type 'soffice'   or 'swriter',  etc.

All that after adding  /usr/local/OpenOffice1.1/program/  to my path

So, the full startup is: 
            /usr/local/OpenOffice1.1/program/soffice

It will depend a little on where you have it install and which
version you install.

I seem to remember getting this hint out of some online article, but I
don't remember what it was anymore.

Anyway, it amounts to an error in Openoffice documentation as it
is installed on FreeBSD.
