Chris, 

	You always seem to be waiting when I post a question.  Do you
ever sleep?  

	I wish the Python site was as well written as the PHP site. On
the PHP site, I can look up a command and they show not only the docs
on that command but a list of all other commands associated with it.  

	Thanks.  Python is a whole new animal to me.  I'm taking a
course in PHP and Python online right now.  I've done PHP scripting
before though I don't claim to be a whiz on it.  But I'd barely heard
of Python before I took this course.  

	The one thing I really dislike about Python over PHP is that
Python can usually only appear in the cgi directory (unless other
arragements are made with your hosting provider or if you reconfigure
Apache on your own server if you have your own).  With PHP, I can put
them in any folder on my Web site without any problem.  

	Regards,
