What's wrong with having to do it the way you are?

You're actually spending hours learning to do things properly, would you prefer to be spoon fed everything though?

Glad it worked, thanks for posting back.

Move all the files from the plugins directory and then try 'svn up' again.

svn up

What version of BT are you running?

Just as Cheesmassacre said, at this point all you have to do is press enter or just leave it, it will eventually go to the BT menu. You don't need to type anything. If it's not working just by...
