Ah ok...... thanks.

I can't remember how I installed v2.83 earlier in the year but I know I 
was running get_iplayer directly from the home directory then. What's 
different now is that I'm running it from the v2.95 folder.

I'm sorry for being so thick but is there a way of running it from the 
home directory rather than having to remember to switch to the v2.95 
folder each time?

Please be gentle, I'm trying to unlearn 31 years of C/PM, DOS and 
Windows here.... LOL.
