Hi Tim,

One of the easier ways to do this is to run your program though IDLE ---
IDLE is a text editor that's like notepad, but is Python specific.  
There's a menu option in IDLE that's called "Run Script", and that should
work for you.

I have a small visual tutorial on IDLE here:

    http://hkn.eecs.berkeley.edu/~dyoo/python/idle_intro

that tries to show how to use it.  Try it out, and see if it works ok for
you.


If you have questions, please feel free to ask on Tutor!  Good luck to
you.
