[Chimera-users] Open a file with Windows 10 Command Prompt

[Conrad Huang]

Hi, Mark.

What is the actual command you typed?  And did Chimera not start, or 
start but not open the data file?

I am able to launch Chimera with a PDB file on my machine using the 
following commands:

cd d:\chimerax\src\core\atomic
"c:\Program Files\Chimera 2016-09-23\bin\chimera.exe" ideal_helix.pdb

The first command sets the "current folder" and the second launches 
Chimera with a file in that folder.  The latter command used a full path 
for a daily build of Chimera.  If you put the Chimera "bin" directory in 
your PATH environment variable, you should be able to just type 
"chimera" instead.
