MASM/hla help

[jmaxwell]

I downloaded MASM32.zip and HLA from the Art of Assembly Book webpage -webster.com? As suggested by that book, I made the bat file, IHLA.BAT. When I typed IHLA at the C prompt, I got the file reiterated back line by line. I employed the tests that the book suggested and they all worked out:
For hla-? I got the help message. For ML/? I got the help screen. For link/? I got the linker program. But when I tried HLA -v HW - it wouldn't compile, run my program. It tried to - made some kind of effort but then could not open the file with the progam. Any suggestions? Thanks.
