Running script in __main__ shows no output in IDLE

[heidi.hunter at fantasy-interactive.com]

I just downloaded the most recent (2.4.3) Python and IDLE (1.1.3) to
Windows XP Professional. I'm new to the IDLE environment, so hopefully
someone can tell me what I'm missing here! Below is the code, which I'm
editing within IDLE, and attempting to test with the Run commands.

I was expecting to see at least see the prints to stdout from the if
__name__ ... statement and main() function, but when I use F5 Run
module I don't see any output or errors. Any suggestions? Does IDLE
still need the executable file statement at the top even if I run it
explicity?
