I need a lesson.

Hi Fred,

Maybe try something similar to this:

while 1:
	## Put your code to calculate speed here

	if raw_input ("Do another? ") == "n":
		break

That is a very basic infinite loop that will break out if you answer "n"
to the question.  What you should do next is find a good book that covers
basic programming concepts.  A good place to start nay be the book
"Programming Python".  If you can't afford to buy it, you may be able to
read it online at http://www.netlibrary.com .  Hope this hepled some.
