Mail merge problem...

I am having difficulty with MailMerge. The Customer file was created in
Gnumeric and then saved as CSV. The path to the CSV file is:

/home/zed/Clients/GHI/HKI/FormLetters/Christmas/Customers-HKI.csv

The form letter was created in AbiWord 2.6.6 and the merge fields were
inserted at the appropriate places. The path to the form letter is:

home/zed/Clients/GHI/HKI/Form Letters/Christmas/Christmas-2009.abw

I downloaded and printed the appropriate pages of the Help file and, in
accordance with the recommendations, entered the following into a terminal:

zed@zed-desktop ~ $ AbiWord-2.0 -m /home/zed/Clients/GHI/HKI/FormLetters/
Christmas/Customers-HKI.csv -p /home/zed/Clients/GHI/HKI/FormLetters/
Christmas/Customers-HKI.ps /home/zed/Clients/GHI/HKI/FormLetters/Christmas/
Christmas-2009.abw
bash: AbiWord-2.0: command not found
zed@zed-desktop ~ $

As you will see, it falls over at the first hurdle, inasmuch as it cannot
find AbiWord-2.0. I have tried entering AbiWord-2.6.6, AbiWord, abiword,
abiword-2.0, and abiword-2.6.6. All returned the same error.

Obviously I am doing something monunentally stupid and seek the assistance
of the list in telling me what it is and, more importantly, how I can
rectify my mistake.
