Re: Install and Running Windows Native 2.6.0

[Jay Hamilton, Sound and Silence]

Trent- I had the same confusion and someone named Scott directed me to 
the command prompt which you can get to via the start menu then run then 
type cmd then a window opens and you cd to the place where the file and 
convert.ly are and then it's
convert.ly filename
that should do the trick.
