When I do, it asks me to "press may key to continue" at the cmd box and then doesn't seem to do anything. Surely I don't have to always be present to press a key to continue? I m sure I have done something wrong but don't know where.

Anyone able to help me?
I'm just looking at this program as I'd like a nice interface for my missus to get books an mags on her kindle.

I too have this problem - the generate catalog batch file appears to do nothing - it jumps to the end of the file. Removing the pause just means the window (I'm using Vista her btw) just closes without waiting. The reason to run from command line is this - you want the generated html files to update after you've downloaded a daily news recipe - it needs to be automated for when you are away from home/your pc.

Also - if you put your calibre library in a dropbox folder - can the program generate just the catalog files and not duplicate the books themselves?

I did try having the catalog folder the same as the library - but that's not allowed, I was hoping just the catalog would be created using the original files...
