Yes, record.bat and playback.bat are designed to run from the command prompt.
If you have pollux.inp in your INP folder (create a folder called INP if one is not there) then enter this on the commandline.
First step is to open the command prompt, and go to the folder where the MAME executable is located:
cd \wolfmame\154 (this is an example, replace the path with the path to mame.exe and playback.bat on your system, with a leading '\')
Then play it back: playback pollux pollux (you can add any extra options you want on the end if you want or need to)
