Now more info. tried another of the imagemagick commands which I need. Still no result or response from the CLI, but the command did work and converted the file as I expect.

Like I said wonderfully, on my OSX machine. The commands all work via the dos prompt in 98. And if I turn the hideconsule on, I see the window come up and then close. Just no result or return. Or completion of the command. Have quoted both the command and everything else I can think of at different times. But without some kind of result I am at a lose. When I do use the wrong command, the result comes back as a bad command. That much is good. But I really need the results in all cases.
