When i finally get to the point to hit enter, I get "removes protection from...and usage..." and then I am returned to the prompt. It appears the script is not working on the decoding...well, not appears...it's not! I am about to get my new 505 and I want to get this worked out. I've read the two longest threads twice....help! and thanks!

There is no need for the use of any scripts directory. That's just silly. That makes it harder then it needs to be. All I have done is create a directory called MP off of the root of my C drive. I have mobidedrm.py in there and I download my Mobipocket eBooks to that directory. So when the command prompt is run, all you have to type is cd \mp and you'll end up in the proper directory. Then you can type the command and away you go.
Code:
mobidedrm.py LightFantastic9780061367588.prc "The Light Fantastic.prc" XJ6M28H$B2
Then from there you can move the the two copies of the eBook to where you want.
This is assuming you have Windows and Python 2.5 or 2.6 from
http://www.python.org and not that silly Active Python.
