Err, this is a trickier (and much nastier!) one.  I'll fix this one the 
weekend... for now just ignore all the "input/regression/" info.

If it says "input/test/" then look at "Tips and Tricks" on the above page.

You need to use the command line of your operating system.  For OSX, 
this is called the "terminal".  For Windows, it's called "dos shell" or 
"command shell" or something like that.  Please consult documentation 
for your operating system for help with this.
