yes it is the Finder's get info.

Perhaps I should say a bit more about this installation.

Machine: Power Macintosh G4 (Quicksilver 2002)
OS: 10.5.6  TeXLive-2008 TLU v 0.6

I used to have gw TeX, then I installed TeXLive-2008, and this worked 
OK so I uninstalled gw TeX _but_ I may not have done this the best 
way: I used Gerben's i-Installer and chose the `uninstall' command 
for every package it said I had. Everything seemed to work just fine 
after that until I wanted to use the terminal for texdoc or kpsewhich 
or similar, I don't remember now which, and terminal responded: 
`command not found'. So I don't have any of these! Still my TeX 
installation works fine. I thought that tlmgr could re-install these 
but had not tried until your nice utility came along.

OK so concerning my problem maybe this list can suggest ways to get 
the terminal commands back, (I have two other machines with OK 
installations) or as a last resort I can reinstall.

Concerning TLU this info may help, but even if not, the drop down 
dialog should still exit gracefully rather than stick, maybe with the 
message: Sorry mate your installation is so messed up I cannot help 
you.
