commit 2aa990f031a25f50ccf51f5b4bdbe10cf3c7955f

    Help: Modified help on gs-execute-commands.page.
    
    Reworded help on how to run a command or launch GUI programs
    to obtain debugging information to aid in filing a bug report.
    
    Added explanation on how programs can be installed on various
    locations on the computer and that Terminal may not always be
    by default able to see them without the locations being added
    to the PATH variable. A user can find out the exact location
    of the program by using which program.
