My actual code has different variables, but thanks for pointing that
out.  I'm so used to coding in VB, where indenting isn't a problem, so
all this indenting is new to me how Python wants it dictated.  I made
the changes and still get an error at the same point after the second
For statement? So:

While :
     Code under while
     More under while.

     For (x)
          Part of x
          Last of x

          For(y)
               Part of y
               Still part of y
               last part of y.

          New line part of x #where does this belong?


     Last line under while not in For  #Should go under While, right?


If I want all my code to run under the while, then the While statement
should be the only line of code not indented once I state it then,
correct?
