you don't have to look for a run command in the context menu, but for a 
run / execute checkbox in the properties of the file.

how you get there, it depends on the file manager you're using.


dolphin seems to the default for kde, which should be the default for 
pclinuxos.

here is the dolphin manual:

https://userbase.kde.org/Dolphin/File_Management

it does not say what is in the context menu or how to set the executable 
permission, but looking at a screenshot in google i would say that you 
should look for the "Properties" entry in the context menu.

so

- right click on the appimage
- properties
- find the bug that allows you to run or execute the file

you should not have accepted it, but it's not that important.

if this dialog is shown also after you have set the "executable" 
property, it's time to find someone who can give you some local support...
