Just found this trick out!

1) Save a deb in your MyDocs folder.
2) Open microb web browser
3) In address bar type "file:///home/user/MyDocs"
4) It will show a file list.
5) Click on the deb file you want to install.
6) App Manager opens and ask you to check box and continue
7) Software is installed.

No need to go to command line to install anymore!

*edit* obviously, you can save the deb anywhere and navigate to it using microb
*edit2* bookmark your MyDocs or other folder for easier access

... or open File manager, browse to the directory you saved the deb and click on it to open in App Manager.

They were probably persuaded by my superior arguments for it
