Like most command line programs, if you run mod9.10 without any arguments, it tells you how to run it. Here it's saying that you need to run it with "mod9.10" plus the name of a Python script file.

You have to put Modeller commands into a script file (let's call it foo.py) then run that script file by typing "mod9.10 foo.py". Right now you're typing Modeller commands into the Windows command prompt. Windows doesn't understand Modeller commands, of course.

As described in the release notes, Windows won't let you run the examples directly from the folder they were installed in (this is a good thing, particularly if you share your computer with other users - it's stopping you from breaking them by accident!) Make a copy of the examples folder somewhere else, such as on your desktop, and run them in there.
