Ahah - yes, that does work!  And for the record...

call {"c:\program files\ImageMagick-6.3.5-Q16\convert.exe" c:\pic.jpg 
c:\pic.png}

And I'd tried something similar to begin with, but I guess I had the paths 
wrong somehow, so switched to trying to get it to work how they say in the 
manual.

You'll note the app's not called ImageMagick though.  This is a suite of about 
16 programs.

Anyway, thanks Gregg - you put me on the right track.
