1) The rwm (or is it site rwm) commands are unrecognized. is there a path issue?

The command rwm should only be available at the shell prompt, which is only available if you are connected via Hyperterminal.

There is no site rwm command, so it's no wonder it was unrecognized. There is a site rw command available through the Hijack FTP server, which is a completely different thing.

I had a snoop around and looked at the config.ini file, there is no [hijac] section (I DO have Hijack installed)

There wouldn't be. First of all, you spelled it wrong, and second of all, it's not there unless you add it yourself by hand.

and also the syntax of the EXEC command you mentioned looks nothing like anything else in that file.

Yes, it's that way deliberately. I forget all of the reasons it's that way, but there were reasons for each decision in the syntax.
