Whenever I double-click the file a command prompt comes up for about a half of a second and goes away. Nothing happens. Can anyone help me out?
Thanks in advance.

What happens when you start the command prompt first, and then start NESASM from inside the command prompt? If you don't know what that means, try reading some of the articles linked from
nesdev wiki: Before the basics around "command line interface", particularly
Windows Command Prompt.
I went to the directory of where the NESASM file is and typed in "start nesasm". The same thing happens. I'm not savvy with this kind of stuff at all, even with a Wikipedia page.
Just type "nesasm" without the start and it will work. Then to assemble your source file you'd tile "nesasm filename.asm" where filename.asm is your source file (must be in the same directory).
I thought NESASM is where I made my source file. Or where I type in the codes?
Sorry if I sound like an idiot, again I'm new. I read the sticky and found a couple of tutorials but none of them really tell me where I type in the codes.
Type the code in any text editor, such as notepad. It just has to a plain text file (i.e. a .DOC saved in MS Word will not work).
