Uninstalling aplications?

I need to uninstall a program in OpenSuse through command line, more specifically openoffice 2. What command would I need to type to do this? I am fairly experienced in apt-get and the debian way of doing things, not so much rpm’s.

I just installed openoffice 3 and when I went to install the openoffice3 menu rpm it said that it conflicts with openoffice 2, so I’d like to just uninstall openoffice 2. If anyone has any better ideas I’m all ears.

Thanks!

In a console type su then root pass then
zypper rm appname
