Kovid: Here's what I get at the cmd prompt when I put in ebook-convert.exe
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner>ebook-convert.exe
Usage: ebook-convert.exe input_file output_file [options]
Convert an ebook from one format to another.
input_file is the input and output_file is the output. Both must be specified as
the first two arguments to the command.
The output ebook format is guessed from the file extension of output_file. outpu
t_file can also be of the special format .EXT where EXT is the output file exten
sion. In this case, the name of the output file is derived the name of the input
file. Note that the filenames must not start with a hyphen. Finally, if output_
file has no extension, then it is treated as a directory and an "open ebook" (OE
B) consisting of HTML files is written to that directory. These files are the fi
les that would normally have been passed to the output plugin.
After specifying the input and output file you can customize the conversion by s
pecifying various options. The available options depend on the input and output
file types. To get help on them specify the input and output file and then use t
he -h option.
For full documentation of the conversion system see

Whenever you pass arguments to ebook-convert.exe that have spaces in them, enclo
se the arguments in quotation marks.
Options:
--version show program's version number and exit
-h, --help show this help message and exit

If I try to put in the name of the book (The_Body_Farm.epub) as the input and (The_Body_Farm.mobi) as the output, I get what I showed up in the #7 post on here.
