Unfortunately the "Run" window is to launch external programs, which Artemis does through a series of external scripts. The scripts, along with most of the programs they run (like BLAST), will only work under Unix or Linx. The scripts put the output into files, which Artemis will then display. There are two ways around this. 1) run the scripts, via artemis, on a suitably configured Unix system and then copy all the resulting files over to the PC. 2) It should be possible to get Artemis to launch a script on the PC which will send the searches to a remote server, such as that at NCBI, and put the results in the right place. As far as I am aware, no one has tried this yet, but I'd be intrested in hearing if anybody has something like this working. Julian.
