Hiya Scott;
what your describing you are trying to execute the /usr directory, just to
point you can't execute directories unless there is a executable file
within that directory. Example to a exec a file within a dir.. the syntax
is :
/<directory>/<name of file> ie.. /usr/thefile
or /usr/X11R6/bin/thefile
