>I have some dupe records that are causing me problems and I need to delete one of the dupes for each record in several tables. Is there a way to do that without deleting each individual record by hand? Is there a way to do it using the command line?

Build exe from following code and you can run it from command line.

Select Mytable
Set Order To Keyfield
lKeyfiled = Null
SCAN
    IF lKeyfield= Mytable.Keyfield
        Delete
    ELSE
        lKeyfield= Mytable.Keyfield
    ENDIF
ENDSCAN

This code assumes that you have an index on Keyfield and you want to keep the first of the dup records
