Reading in a file


I just installed version 2.2.7 for windows.

An observations and then a question.

 

First, the ?? command does not open the users manual in a dvi window. (Adobe is installed).

 

My question is how do I read in a program file and then have gp send the output to another file?

 

Is it

\r file1 \w file2

 

If this is the case, how do I specify the path to file1 and file2.

 

For example, I have a file, prfibgpnbfu37,  on the desktop, but

 

\r C:\Documents and Settings\jmclaugh\Desktop\prfibgpnbfu37

 

generates an error message:

“*** error opening input file: C:\Documents…..

 

although this is the location of the file given when I click on its “properties”.
