I wasn't clear, they aren't steps, they are three different ways to do what
you want. Choose one of them and do only it.
How you do #3 depends on you version of Windows. In XP:
From the Control Panel, select System. Click on the Advanced tab. Click
on the "Environment Variables" button at the bottom. In the System
Variables window select the line for PATH. Click Edit. Add the path to
the Ethereal directory (without the double quotes), separated from the
previous entry by a semi-colon.

Okay I'm halfway with ya. This is my first time using editcap and I'm
kind of familiar with command prompt. Not sure what step number three
means?

When you specify an executable with no path information, Windows will
only
look for the executable in the current directory and in those
directories
mentioned in the PATH environment variable.
You can:
1. CD to the directory containing editcap (probably "C:\Program
Filed\Ethereal", don't forget the double quotes if there are spaces in
the
path name),
2. Specify the path to editcap ("C:\Program Files\Ethereal\editcap" -r
c:\capture\tr c:\capture\new 1-10000).
3. Add the path to the Ethereal directory to the PATH environment
variable.
