:Syboxez is correct, chdman is a CLI-based program which means you need to run it from the command prompt. Chdman won't stay open because running it with no command(s) will list all the options available and then close (like CLI programs normally do) so that control can be passed back to the user to type more commands as they need to. This is a component of the command-line, not a software issue. While it's true that you can open the command prompt and get to the folder by typing <code>cd "location"</code>, you can actually open it in the folder itself by clicking on the address bar in Windows Explorer so that it lets you type a new location in, and then replacing it with cmd (and pressing enter). You should do this in the folder where mame and chdman are installed so that you can immediately run chdman when the prompt opens. To use the program in other folders, you will either to have to type out the full location of either chdman itself or the images you want to work with, or alternatively [https://www.howtogeek.com/118594/how-to-edit-your-system-path-for-easy-command-line-access/ add the installation directory to your path]. -[[User:FosterHaven|FosterHaven]] ([[User talk:FosterHaven|talk]]) 18:07, 16 March 2018 (EDT) | :Syboxez is correct, chdman is a CLI-based program which means you need to run it from the command prompt.
