An absolute Newbie question

[wpog]

WOW!!!

I really appreciate the immediate response from the community!!! I thank 
you all for all the help, and now I can start programming, and I also now 
have a resource for help for a Newbie;-)

Later on I will broach the subject of creating .exe programs so that anyone 
can run them on Windows, but that won't be for a while yet, but I did 
download ":cx_Freeze-3.0.1-win32-py24"; however, I don't have a clue on 
what the hell I'm doing yet, so I'll get to that later.

Anyway, I once again thank you all for the support, and suggestions, and I 
hope to actually create something that people might use, like a magic 8 
ball generator!;-p

Best Regards,
wpog
