That statement should be all on one line, which is probably your problem.
Most email/newsgroup clients automatically insert line feeds. Copy and
paste the statement into notepad first, remove the line feeds and
re-copy/paste into the command prompt.

Get this message when I follow the instructions.
Cannot find the file 'FOR' (or one of its components). Make sure the path
and filename are correct and that all required libraries are available.

if I run it from a cmd prompt I get:
%%A was unexpected at this time.
I'm logged in as an admin. (aren't we all?)

thanks for helping.
