You could try this:

Open a terminal window, then

# wget -c "http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/damnsmall/mydsl/apps/openoffice.tar.gz" /path-to-my-HD/openoffice.tar.gz

or

# wget -c "http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/damnsmall/mydsl/testing/openoffice.org2.0.uci" /path-to-my-HD/openoffice.org2.0.uci

If you put the openoffice.tar.gz file in the root directory where you boot DSL it will load automatically. If you put the openoffice.tar.gz file in /optional in the root directory where you boot DSL it will appear in the right-click DSL menu.

Or, this might work

# mydsl-load /path-to-my-HD/openoffice.tar.gz

I never used a *.uci so I do not know how to load them.

Note:
Remove the quotes "" from "http..." before using the wget command.

Try as I might I just can't get it to work.  I'm sure that there is a way.  Maybe because the dsl I installed in my computer was the RC4 version.  I will have to say that the dsl operating system works great.  it is quick but not so easy to use.  If I could just get open office to work along with thundrbird for the e-mail I know it would be great. The biggest problem is that I dont understand or just not smart enough to use Linux.  I have used windows for so long and it does not require you to think it just works!

Not quite - you are used to windows and know how to use it (and doesn't always work either ;p).  If you get a new computer user, it is much more different.

I'd recommend for you to use the uci version, unless have a lot of ram and/or want it running off ram.
