 5. The PyPy interpreter command line options are listed by typing::
 
-        python23 py.py --help
+        python py.py --help
 
    As an example of using PyPy from the command line, you could type::
 
-        python23 py.py -S -c "import pystone; pystone.main(2)
+        python py.py -S -c "import pystone; pystone.main(10)"
 
    Alternatively, as with regular Python, you can simply give a

-        python23 py.py -S ../appspace/pystone.py
+        python py.py -S ../appspace/pystone.py

    Finally, there are some more advanced tests (which are derived from
