[scribus] portable Scribus

[Owen]

Hi,

I don't think you have taken up Peter's point;


On Windows, press the Start button
Select   "Run"
Type  "cmd" into the dialog box

At this point you should have a console

Type    scribus at the prompt and if that doesn't work, change
directory the the scribus executable and type scribus again

You should get output which may provide some clues.
