What a star. It is all now working. I will try to look at the reference you mentioned, but at the moment I can not even figure out why 'python' on its own does not work. I would have thought the installation would have set the appropriate environment variables, but it does not seem to have. I have to give the full path name to python.exe. Just remembered SET at DOS prompt, but no mention of PYTHON anywhere. Thank you very much again - I now have a list of all my JPEGS and their CAPTIONS.
