Lessons learned about using the command line (I hope):

(1) From the command line, you have to use the exact full file name you want to process and not just part of the file
name.  The computer does not know what you're thinking, you have to explicitly tell it.

(2) You need to use space between arguments to a command on the command line.  '-i' and the file name were both
separate arguments.  The computer does not know what you're thinking, you have to explicitly tell it.

Here's a little ditty that explains it all (credit to anonymous).

  I hate this dumb computer
  I think that I will sell it.
  It never does just what I want
  But only what I tell it.
