Caption not working

[LotusE]

When I type this command at the command prompt:

convert -size 1144x1521 -font Arial caption: "This is a test to see how it goes" test.gif

Nothing happens at all. The cursor is blinking, but that's it. I have to press ctrl+c to be able to return to the command prompt.

What could be the cause of this?

Thanks for the information!

Some additional info: I'm on Windows 7. My version of ImageMagick is 6.8.7

try this. There should be no space between caption: and the quoted text. Also you should supply a background color.

convert -size 1144x1521 -background white -font Arial caption:"This is a test to see how it goes" test.gif
