If you typed that whole string literally it was treated as
C:\ > django-admin.py25
111 2 33333333333333344
1) a program to run called "C:\". No such program exists, and thus the
error it gives you
2) redirect the output of that "program" (that doesn't exist) into a
file in the current directory called "django-admin.py25"
3) the file name it would redirect to
4) likely a copy&paste error tacking on a 25 from perhaps a footnote
What you want is to interpret this portion:
C:\>
as your shell prompt. When you first bring up a command-prompt, it's
likely something likie
C:\Documents and Settings\timbis\>
Assuming you've followed the instructions to set your PATH environment
variable, you just type
django-admin.py
at this prompt. Going through a short primer on using Dos might be a
good start to get you comfortable at wandering around in your
command-shell. There's a fair bit of power and control, but it requires
learning how to use it.
