I am sorry to bother you but I am getting confused after reading the =
tutorials.  I am hoping that I can get some instructions that will make =
sense to my small brain.
I download and installed python 2.0 with the windows installer.  I am =
running it on a Win 98se.  I have been reading the tutorials and  trying =
to make sense of them in reference to python 2.0. =20

I have been wondering if it was wise to download this version???

The installation program installed two icons in the start menu.  One for =
python and one for the python gui (What is the python gui?). =20
I know that python works in the interactive mode because I tried it.

My question is what do I do next?
Some of the tutorials and readme files talk having MS VC++ and others =
talk about pcbuild.??????

I tried adding python to the autoexec.bat but it didn't seem to run at =
the c prompt.
What do I need to do to get it to run the hello.py text file that I =
saved????

Thanks for your time

Jim Conway

PS  Which version of python will be explained in Alan Gauld's new =
book???
