Never mind. The correct syntax is
--directory-prefix="c:\output\"
However, the error was due to a Return vice space before the URL. Duh!

Subject: Syntax for directory names
I would like the output files from a wget command to be stored in a
subdirectory ("output") of the current directory. To do this, I used the
"directory-prefix" option, but it does not seem to like my syntax. It gives me
the error "missing URL." The variations I tried for the option are:
--directory-prefix=/output/
--directory-prefix=/output
--directory-prefix=output
Here is one variation of the complete command I am using:
wget --convert-links --directory-prefixoutput --no-clobber http://www.xyz.com
Anybody know what I`m doing wrong?
Thanks, Alan
