Well, the example I was seeing, the person had one window which contained a portion of the larger pygame program controlling the display, another for controlling the characters, and another for the main program (Plus, I think, two others whose purpose I forget). I'm just concerned because, I can't imagine that's possible from the command prompt, but, I don't know what they had that would allow them to have multiple subprograms open at once in Python. I'm used to that in Visual Studio C++, but, I don't know of such a thing for Python.
