How to launch the notepad version of Wolfram?

[sacrophyte]

This is very much exciting! I can get the standard command-line version of the engine going just fine, but what about the graphical notepad version?

Sorry for the stupid question - hoping to show it off to a bunch of 4th graders in 2 hours.

May have found the answer:

In order to start the application from the Linux command line, type:
$ wolfram
To start Mathematica, type:
$ mathematica

Launching it in the background will return you to a shell prompt (freeing up the terminal for continued use):

$ mathematica &

(you don't type the dollar sign, of course)
