Mark Hi,

I am using Windows 98. Is there someplace in the .py code that I can
explicitly force on startup to default it to the directory from "Start
In". It is already loaded in os.getcwd(). So it should be a simple
matter. 

This is a great product. Its the reason I started using Python and
building my confidence to dump VB. The code completion (intellisense?)
makes using Python a pleasure.

Is there a planned upgrade coming up any time soon? And is there some
wish/comments list I can participate in?

Thanks
