Not from the command prompt but there is a setting in the script. At the 
top of the script there is a setting called 'debug_secondrunthough' set 
it to 'True'. You *must* use exactly the same files in the same order or 
it will fail. You can try other themes if you want without having to do 
the re-encoding etc. Don't forget to set it back to False after or else 
you will get errors when you run it again with different files.
