This is a bit trickier on Windows, though the same concept applies. To
open a shell prompt, you want to open cmd or command using the run
dialog, then change to the AbiWord directory - should be something like:
cd "c:\Program Files\AbiSuite2\AbiWord\bin"

then you can go ahead and run the command as specified.

Hope this helps!
