[Tutor] TKinter and IDLE problem

Double clicking it in explorer works fine, but I can't get it to run from a 
DOS window prompt. I have several Tkinker GUI scripts in a 
C:\Python22\Tkinter directory, and have CD-ed to this directory in DOS. dir 
shows the list of scripts, but when I try to run, for example, 
C:\Python22\Tkinter\helloTkinter.py, I get "Bad command or file name". What 
to do? I'd like to follow Poor Yorick's tip, "I've been doing a lot of 
Tkinter programming in Idle on Windows 2000, and I've found that the 
easiest way to proceed is to keep a DOS window open to the folder where my 
python source file is ..."

BTW if it matters, I'm using Win98.

Thanks,
