Depends also on what he downloaded. ADF's ? Or "plain" programs..

If they are ADF's, you need to write those to disk with a program called something like ADF2Disk..

If they are normal programs, copy them to disk and make sure they still have the executable flag set..

Well you may want to do what Thoas suggests, otherwise;

Open a CLI or SHELL, go to the dir where you put the files (copied from the CD) and type "protect [filename] +e"

This from memorie, so I might be a bit off..

Or depending on the OS version, select the file in the workbench, press A+i and select the flags you want to set, and then save.. AFAIK OS3.X creates a .info file then for it.. Nut sure if that's 3.5 or lower tho..
