[BRLTTY] Trying to install

[Martin Beran]

Hello,

I can't run the run-brltty.bat and debug-brltty.bat files.
When I open a command prompt as administrator, enter the Brltty folder 
by cd program files\brltty command and then type run-brltty.bat, I get 
the following:
'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, 
operable program or batch file. 
 


The syntax of the command is incorrect.
Where is the mistake?

Martin.
