Actually, I've been a professional programmer for 30 years, and working
with Windows for 3.  I guess I'm becoming so Windowized that I forget
command line interfaces exist!  I suppose I could put the python
directory in the PATH and do what you say from a DOS prompt.  But isn't
there a way to change directories (cd) from the Python command line?  Or
something?

Thanks,
