O.K. I have tuxboot on my USB drive. That's easy. How do I execute this program?
The tuxboot site says "go to Properties ->Permissions and check "Execute". Ive tried this rout and there is no "Execute" option. Dead end. Or I can access some command prompt and enter "chmod tx ./tuxboot-linux*. What command prompt? How do I get to it? They refer to this command prompt from time to time without ever saying where it is.

Tuxboot on USB drive? It should be installed on your MS Windows or GNU/Linux. Not on the USB drive.

Thanks Steven:
I have tuxboot on my Linux computer in the Downloads folder. I can open it and look at the many files, but I don't know how to run it. I want to to create a bootable USB drive for use with Gparted so I can partition my hard drive. I'm guessing there's a three or four step procedure for starting tuxboot . Am I right? and if so, will you please relay it to me?

Did you follow: https://tuxboot.org/installation/
to install that?
The same page also explains how to start it. Hence please check that page if you haven't.

Thanks Steven,
I visited https://tuxboot.org/instalation/ (I've been there before) and got this: "Make the downloaded file executable (using either the command "chmod+x./tuxboot-linux*, or going to Properties -> Permissions and checking "Execute"), Then start the application etc... I tried both of these options multiple times. My Linux version 16.04 Ubuntu terminal command prompt doesn't recognize this command. The Properties -Permissions route doesn't have an "Execute" option. I'm unable to run tuxboot. How did you do it?

"My Linux version 16.04 Ubuntu terminal command prompt doesn't recognize this command." -> Please take a photo about the whole process, including error messages on the screen, then post them. It's easier for us to understand.
BTW, you can also try something else, like manual method which I always use, or Unetbooting: https://clonezilla.org/liveusb.php#linux-setup
