Relax. Post exactly what you see on the screen (of your PC). That "not a recognised command or batch file" sounds like you're not so experienced with Windows (nor DOS) either.

And considering that Windows/DOS implicitly includes . in the PATH (unlike Unix or Linux), you must be doing something seriously wrong.

General advice: download everything you may need to flash your N900. Firmware images, flasher, etc. and save it in different places. In case future operating systems don't work with the flasher, etc. I also recommend saving some 32-bit Linux (live)CD and/or VM. Another VM with Windows XP might be useful.

The N900 will never die, after all, so we might as well prepare :)
