Adding Mercury

Thank you ckosloff

When you say 'at a command line' do you mean in the console window? So I would 'start', 'run' and then in the appearing window write your commands?

One thing that my teething troubles have highlighted is that my PC skills need to be rapidly and vastly improved.

Not directly at "run", you need to type "cmd" in the "run" window.
In Windows 98 and earlier it is "command", but I assume that you are using 2K or later.
Start --> Run --> cmd, and then type netstat /? at the command prompt.
Once you know what the swtiches do, type for example:
netstat -ano
you can use shorthand for the switches, no need to type "-" every time.
Clear enough?
