When I run the program 'eth.exe' (from the ethereum frontier website), I am prompted for a password. I enter a password, but then even after several hours I don't get any command line prompt. I simply get a flashing cursor that is still there after hours of time.

Screenshot for what I get after running eth

Operating System: Windows 10 Ethereum blockchain: Downloaded Other information: Shown in image above.

How do I get to the eth command line interpreter?

Look at the answers for this question: https://ethereum.stackexchange.com/questions/1652/cant-enter-command-after-starting-eth.

Download the latest binaries from: https://github.com/ethereum/webthree-umbrella/releases and use

 eth --frontier console

eth.coinbase is a command that is used from the ethereum console. Not the command-line, so that definately won't work. eth and geth (what I use) are different, so their commands probably different as well.

From cli installation site, try running this: eth --frontier -b -i.
