bear,
thanks for the suggestions.  I use IDLE to write the code and when it's 
working I paste it over into a new window.  I'll tabify before saving 
the pasted code.  To add doctests would I need to use a certain 
filename for the tests to be run on?  Can you have doctests on random 
functions?

Thanks

Dave
