Hi, NRO117 -
I've moved the rest of this reply to be in bottom-posting format,
which is the preferred format on this list.

On behalf of the community, thank you for purchasing the Pro version!
Your support funds future work, and is greatly appreciated.

Almost all Unix-like commands that operate on a file need to have
themon the command line, usually at the end (after you've used special
options).
In this case, you also need to specify the file that contains the
password, as in:
john --wordlist=password.lst mypasswordfile.txt
While (hopefully) also mentioned elsewhere in the docs, having to do
this is an assumption for many command-line tools.

It's not a stupid question at all -- just one that many of us geeks
take for granted. If you have more interest in the command line than
just solving this specific password problem (and I recommend it --
it's very empowering!), Lasser's "Think Unix" book is a great place to
start.
