       No, it's a style. life seems to be easier  
to me if one is consistent, all my classes begin 
with K.

   It's my style. life seems to be easier  to me 
if one is consistent all my function begin with 
F.

I started doing things like this when the only way 
to debug was to read each line of code and try to 
figgure out if it was the problem.
They are my personal sign posts.

print shows the results wherever a print statement 
turns up the results = 'help' .
I didn't run the code, and it has it has a coding 
error but if removed, the results should be; 

   searchterm = 'help'
   self.searchterm = 'help'
   Kdo.searchterm = 'help'

   Sound silly but many people have trouble with  
getting a variable from here to there in their 
code. This shows that it can be done

If I remember right,  he refrased  his first 
question and asked a second one. 
Sometimes people don't take the time to write 
correctly, the questions that are really in their 
mind. So I guessed.  If Im wrong, he will ignore 
it.  If I'm right, he will use it.  

Also, I have found that other will latch on to the 
ideas presented  in these email responses. And 
they will use them, even though the response was 
not exactly what the original emailer wanted.

And, I sometimes I do use print statements to 
debug, I have used other ways but on linux, I 
prefer a print statement.
