If you are on XP create a folder on your c:\ Drive somewhere... to hold your mobi2perl exes. Copy the mobiperl exes into that folder. Then click on your start menu, right click on "my computer" and choose properties. A dialog will open. Click on the advanced tab. Then at the bottom of that tab click on the "Environmental Variables" button.

You will see two lists boxes, one at the top for "User" variables and one at the bottom for "ssytem" variables. You want to add a PATH variable to your top list. It probably isn't there yet. So, click the New...button under the top list. Type in "PATH" for the variable name and the full path to the folder you created above in the value, like "c:\Program Files\mobi2perl" (don't type the quotes of course.)

Save that... click ok buttons until the System PRoperties dialog is closed.

Now that you have done this you should be able to run the exe's in that folder from anywere on your machine.
