Hi Rosalee,

It sounds like you're still stuck trying to input programs into Python.
Are you using a "programming text editor"?  If not, then you may want to
look at:

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

That guide should help you get started.  Some of the notes there are a
little outdated since IDLE has been changed a bit since Python 2.1.  In
particular, "Run Script" is now "Run Module" in the Run menu.  But other
than that, that IDLE guide should be relevant.

Please free free to ask questions.  Good luck!
