You don't say what version of unix you're accessing so you can either hunt through the paths I posted earlier or use one of the utilities to hunt for it. For example, on Solaris (my main unix),

Code:
$ grep mailx /var/sadm/install/contents
/etc/mail/mailx.rc e mailxrc 0644 root bin 1829 37709 947116850 SUNWcsr
/usr/bin/mailx f none 2511 root mail 126880 47389 1003406180 SUNWcsu
/usr/share/lib/mailx d none 0755 root bin SUNWcsu
/usr/share/lib/mailx/mailx.help f none 0644 root bin 2989 41016 947116849 SUNWcsu
/usr/share/lib/mailx/mailx.help.~ f none 0644 root bin 1064 23687 947116850 SUNWcsu
/usr/share/man/sman1/mailx.1 f none 0444 bin bin 104155 49322 944774393 SUNWman
/usr/ucb/Mail=../bin/mailx s none SUNWscpu
/usr/ucb/mail=../bin/mailx s none SUNWscpu

So I know that mailx is in /usr/bin.

On Linux boxes (the couple I checked anyway), there is no mailx program. The mail program is in /bin

On AIX mailx is in /usr/bin just like Solaris

On HP-UX mailx is in /usr/bin.

So if the system is running linux, use:

Code:
/bin/mail -s "testing" you@email.tld < (filename)

If the system is using a non-Linux Unix, you'd do this instead:

Code:
/usr/bin/mailx -s "testing" you@email.tld < (filename)

Of course you must replace you@email.tld with a valid e-mail address that you receive e-mail from and (filename) must be replaced with the name of the file you're trying to send to yourself.

Good luck.

freespeak

freespeak(1)							   User Commands						      freespeak(1)

NAME

       freespeak -- GNOME frontend to online translator engines.

SYNOPSIS

       freespeak  [--version]  [-h, --help]

DESCRIPTION

       With FreeSpeak you can translate text and web pages using online translation engines.

       To  perform  a  translation  select your translator of choice. Then you select the languages through which you wish to translate your data.
       Finally press the "Translate" button.

       You can translate both text and web pages. Some translators don't support both modes so it may happen that your preferred translator is not
       present in the drop down list.

       You can tune all FreeSpeak settings in the preferences dialog.

       Copy to clipboard
	      Copy the translated data to the clipboard once the translation is complete.

       Paste from clipboard
	      Paste data to be translated, from the clipboard to the GUI. This only happens when you open a new translation.  If you are trying to
	      perform a web page translation and the clipboard is not holding a valid URL, FreeSpeak is not going to paste it in the URL entry.

       Default translator
	      The translator to use every time you open a new translation. It will be set in the drop down list only if the translation  mode  you
	      requested is supported by the translator you chose.

       Key bindings
	      Set several desktop-wide key bindings for doing quick translation operations.

OPTIONS

       --version Display version number with copyright and exit.

       -h, --help
