   Attempting to download sent me smashing into my relatively low data cap.   
   I won't have full speed service again until next billing cycle in a few   
   days. Meanwhile I was able to download them using local library's public   
   WIFI.   
      
   In another post you said the files I needed were in   
     /comm/suite/locales/en-US/chrome/common/help  *IF* I copied correctly   
      
   I've never used tar to extract anything large.   
   I can't figure out syntax to extract only contents of a specific directory.   
      
   May I have the proper command?   
      
   TIA
