C:\scriptnamehere.py filename C:\pathtodestination "MyName" 12345678

I obviously have something wrong because I get an error saying:

File "<stdin>", line 1
C:\scriptnamehere.py filename C:\pathtodestination "MyName" 12345678
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Did I miss something obvious? Sorry for being so rusty with this - i'm all the way back to n00b status!!

Thanks for any help you can give!
Alot of this really depends. Just type the script name and press enter. You should get a logo/usage message.

You don't need to run python. Just type your command on the DOS command prompt... not in the python command promt.
