In summary, names of  scripts are best in letters and not starting with
numbers.  I suppose this is an extension of the logic that variables names
cannot start with a number.

To use the command python one.py I ought to be at the command line:

D:\Python\python.exe D:\Python\one.py >D:\Python\one.txt

Well that works.

To run the 1s.py script (which in all its glory says print "Hello World" )
from within the interpreter, I type import one.

That worked too.

Thanks for the lesson!

The official tutorial is a nightmare.  Also it assumes that only a few poor
fools in Washington state use a non-Unix OS.  I'm working with the How to
think like a computer scientist by Allen B. Downey and Jeffrey Elkner but if
it proves too much I will try your suggestion as well.  Thanks for the link
