Hi Jimmy,

I used the GUI (http://localhost/tpp-bin/tpp_gui.pl) to do what I did. The 
"\data (Comet)" part was spit out by the system. I was also puzzled by that 
myself. I clearly selected the input file (mydata.pep.xml) from a valid 
folder. I am going to try to do it from the command line using the "cheat" 
method that Brian suggested earlier.

Thanks,

Bob
