I'm sorry, I still don't follow you.

I went into command prompt and typed "dir downloads\skindle-06" (downloads is a temp area on my C:drive and skindle-06 is the name of the folder that was automatically created when I extracted it).

I got a list of the 21 files that are in that folder, including book1.awz (my test book) and skindle.exe.

But I already knew that. I can see that by simply going into the folder. I don't understand why I'm using command prompt -- it's not telling me anything I didn't already know.

You said "see what kind of file extention skindle has." I already knew the answer to that: its extension is .exe. Why did I need to go into command prompt?

And what do I do with this info? Skindle still isn't working.

Thanks.
