I was having no problems with loading my program, then the instructions start taking about a command line, and locating the directory, but I don't know what they are talking about at all.

wheelatron, what OS are you using?

On a Mac it is called Terminal on Windows Run cmd.exe, damm I forget how to use Linux, oh well someone else will jump in.

Thanks for all the help on this Ralph and PCbolt. I was able to get the question answered. I did not understand fully how terminal worked, and where it could be found. I was making some basic mistakes. I was able to load it once I knew what I was doing.

Thanks again
