Many thanks.  :-)

Perhaps I did something wrong ? Does anyone here know how 
to make things work ? This is what I got in a DOS window in '98 :


C:\Python>python word_list.py word_source.txt >word_target.txt
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "word_list.py", line 39, in ?
    file_out  = file( path_out  , 'w' )
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'word_target.txt'
