Answered my own question. I was able to run the commands from Windows
command line.

the command >xinteract *.pep.xml analyzed all 120 of my .pep.xml
files.

I copied the command line from the petunia window to incorporate my
ICAT ratios and run protein prophet after:
>xinteract  -Ndesiredfilename.pep.xml -p0.05 -l7 -Oip -X-m1.0-L -A-lC-r0.5 
>*.pep.xml
