Dear all, Tried all that on my Windows XP, thank you for your suggestions, but without different outcome. Also used various books bought in last fortnight just in case it was book download.

SO... thought when in doubt start again and deleted the python25 which I got from esnips. Went to python.org and downloaded python2.6.2. No problem.

Now have folder C:/python26. Into this folder I moved HolidayinDeath.pbd

Double clicked on python.exe and got my little black box into which I typed

ereader2html.py "HolidayinDeath.pbd" "C:\python26\HolidayinDeath" "Mary E Drake" xxxxxxxx

Result
File "<stdin>", line 1
ereader2html.py "HolidayinDeath.pbd" "C:\python26\HolidayinDeath" "Mary E Drake" xxxxxxxx ^

Syntax Error: Invalid Syntax

New strategy=new error

Thank you all for your patience - I'm hoping it can hold on a little longer. Surely I must be close?
