I run Openbox, and usually start everything by typing its name in the terminal. I can't figure out how to start it, is there a command that will show me that? Thanks.
EDIT: Found it as teamviewer7 in /usr/bin.

Some packages will tell you how to invoke a non-obviously named binary in post_install messages, but you can run e.g.
pacman -Qlq foo | grep bin

Is there a reason for the second "q" (--quiet) in 'pacman -Qlq foo | grep bin' ? Because it works just fine without it. The man page says it's to show less information (mainly for scripts).
Just askin'.
I have made a personal commitment not to reply in topics that start with a lowercase letter. Proper grammar and punctuation is a sign of respect, and if you do not show any, you will NOT receive any help (at least not from me).

That's what I want - less info.
When I check multiple packages at once
pacman -Ql foo bar baz | grep bin
(w/o the '-q' switch) may be a better option although you can use '/usr/bin/' dir as a 'here begins the listing for the next package' marker:
[karol@black ~]$ pacman -Qlq pacman packer | grep bin
/usr/bin/
/usr/bin/cleanupdelta<snip>
/usr/bin/vercmp
/usr/bin/
/usr/bin/packer
