Running Sum script

[Rami Chowdhury]

Could you let us know what kind of error you are getting?

I don't know if this is your error, but this line won't run:

> readData = formisanoOpen.readLines()

Since Python is case-sensitive, you would need a lower-case 'l' in  
'readlines()' -- perhaps that would solve your problem?
