Press: <Enter>
Type: dir
Press: <Enter>

Do you see all of the following listed:
kindlefix.py
Kindlepid.py
prc.py
and the file you are trying to convert (ending with .prc)?

If not, you try moving all of these files into that folder and you can run your scripts from there. (To close the command windows, type: Exit and press <enter>
So, I uninstalled and re-installed and now they are all there.......command line works EXCEPT its not recognizing my PID either. Says it should be all letters ('cept for star), but mine has a number as 5th character....have pm'd Igor.....hopefully both our problems will be solved!
