How to fix "Failed to resolve (?wrong URL) cgminer.exe --bmsc-options"

I downloaded CGMiner and have my pool with slushs pool. So below I believe is the correct setup for CGMiner.

cgminer.exe --bmsc-options 115200:20 -o stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u Starfleet.worker3 -p ***** --bmsc-freq 0781

However, every time I try and connect, it says exactly this:....

Failed to resolve (?wrong URL) cgminer.exe --bmsc-options
Pool 0 slow/down or URL or credentials invalid
Pool setup failed

Can anyone please help me, I am not sure what I am doing wrong. And I do not really know how to write script.

Had you read the page on Slush's Pool on how to set up CGMiner, you would have gotten it right the first time. Use this:

cgminer.exe --bmsc-options 115200:20 -o stratum+tcp://stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u Starfleet.worker3 -p * --bmsc-freq 0781
