Unfortunately, when I try that it says "Windows cannot find [that
file]", etc.
And yet I am copying the filename right from the file manager and it
IS
there.

What's also odd is that if I open the file using cd and then just
putting
the filename on the next line, that file (which I gave a .pyw
extension)
doesn't open, but a file that has a .py extension does.

Any ideas?
Thanks.
