If I paste the destination path in the command window, it simply
disappears before I can read any error message.
If I enter "cmd" and then the destination path, I get this:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrador>C:\Python25\Lib\idlelib
\idle.bat
El sistema no puede encontrar el archivo idle.pyw.

Any hint?
