newbie question...

[r]

i was just giving you an example from my TextEditor.py script.

this is how arg works
lets say you have a script named MyScript.py
---
import sys
print sys.argv
---
call the script with arguments
> MyScript.py 99 100
['C:\\Python25\\MyScript.py', '99', '100']


int(sys.argv[1]) -> 99
