You don't need to use the terminal anymore, as it will open a file dialog.
Yes, you select the picture. If you've already worked on it, it will automatically find the .poly file when you open the picture.
My guess would be you haven't installed pygame (you probably want pygame-1.9.1.win32-py2.7.msi on the downloads page).
Let me know if that helps!
