[Distutils] 'Easy Install' Question

[Digital girl]

Hi,
 
I was really hoping someone can help me out.   I ran the ez_setup python script from here:
 
http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py
 
then edited the path variable to include path to python directory.  
 
I can run python from command prompt but when I try to run easy_install it invokes a Python interpreter window.  Please see screen capture.
 
I'm relatively new to Python and still learning syntax and semantics.  Can someone advise as to what I need to do next to get easy_install installed correctly.
 
I did peruse the discussion threads but didn't see anything that addressed my issue.
 
Thanks in advance.
 
Regards,
Amanda
