Thanks, Andrew, that did the trick! (The last %* does not need to be in the quotation marks.)

Tell me if it works :) Cheers, Andrew On 1/8/07, Edward d'Auvergne <edward.dauvergne@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: Hi Barbara, Welcome to the relax users mailing list. The problem you're experiencing is an interesting one, I've not seen it before. Under MS Windows, I run relax under GNU/Linux though, the program versions I have which allow relax to run flawlessly are: Windows: XP Python: 2.4.3 relax: 1.2.9 The pyreadline, Numeric, and ScientificPython versions are inconsequential for your problem. Which versions of the above programs are you using? I have a feeling though that this is a PATH issue. Have you setup the Windows system path to include the full path of the relax installation directory? This is described for Windows XP in the 'Installation on MS Windows' section of Chapter 1 of the relax user manual (Section 1.2.3 for relax version 1.2.9). From the error message it appears as if the path is truncated.

At the command prompt, I can start Python by typing "python". However, if I type relax, it tells me "python: can't open file 'C:\Program': [Errno 2] No such file or directory".
