Newbie Question about sequence multiplication

[Scott]

Thanks to everyone that responded....I would never have figured that out.

7stud,
Your suggestion is being considered lol, as there are a lot more bits of 
code in that book that I can't get running correctly.
Any other books you'd, or anyone for that matter, would recommend as 
required reading?  Free would be very very (read very) good, as you've 
already said the one I have isn't very viable and it cost me $50. 
Basically, what I'm saying is that if I go and spend another $50+ my wife is 
going to make it very hard to learn Python; after all, how much can I learn 
with a size 5 down my throat? lol


Now when suggesting books, keep in mind that, that while I'm new to Python 
(and programming in general)  I'm able to grasp difficult concepts as long 
as I have enough detail as to why it is the way it is.  For instance I'm, by 
experience and nature, a computer technician and communications specialist. 
I've studied,  everything from childrens walkie talkie to deep space 
satalittes back to how computers talk (which is why I'm here now trying to 
learn the language of computers).  And all that just because I have a 
unquenchable desire to know.  SO, with that all said, the more details the 
better. If you have a book with 4 chapters on functions......I want to read 
it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  As I've said, this is something that 
I feel I have to know.
