Hi. Thanks for all the help.
I've gotten past this problem. It was apparently due to some combination of : o whether I used a dos batch, perl or a combination driving batch startup o whether I used double or single backslash path separators in two paths - path to JMeter.jar and to my *.jmx 'test plan' o double/single quoting of command line arguments o current directory when I executed the batch startup ... and was evidently an implicit CLASSPATH problem. It looked like that all along ... just wasn't obvious how to fix it.
