I need a lesson.

[F. G. Brown]

Greetings,
I just recently started learning to program using Python, and to be honest
when it comes to programming I'm almost dumb as a rock.  I've done some
Qbasic, but I consider it a dead language as far as the future is concerned
and wish to concentrate my efforts with Python.
Here's the rub.  The following is a module called howfast.py that I can't
get to repeat.  In Qbasic I would have used a goto at the end and it would
have worked fine.  Of course there is no goto in Python and that where I can
use anyone's help.  See if you can understand what I'm trying to accomplish
below, it's a little scrambled towards the end, and tell me the error of my
ways.  I have the book "Learning Python" but I'm still stuck.  If there are
any questions I'll be glad to reply.
Thanks,
Fred
?????????????????????????????????????????????

howfast.py

a = input("What is the distance you traveled in miles?  ")
b = input("How many seconds did it require?  ")
c = a*3600.00/b
print "You were going %d mph!" %c
if c > 75:
 print "Hey you better slow down!"
d = raw_input ("Would you like to do another? (y)es or (n)o")
if d == 'y':
 print 'Here we go!'
else:
 print 'See ya!'

I download python from http://www.python.org and I openned the file, and then
moved both files to c:\ and I run my learning fil called helloworld.py and I
get an error. It acts like the program is not there. Please give me a few tips.
