Thank you all for the suport. My bigest problem right now is getiing the
software to run. I downloaded python 2.0 Windows Installer from the
python.org web site. I am still having a problem with the prompt screen
closing too fast I can even read what is says!
This seems to be common for beginners on windoze.
Try running the Python GUI(IDLE) instead of Python.
Or if you got the ActiveState version run Pythonwin.
Alternatively start a DOS box session and type python
at the C:> prompt. That way the DOS box stays put
after your program runs so you see the output!
Somebody should really write up in detail how to start
a program (and the interpreter) for non command-line
users.... I've been meaning to add it to my tutor
for months!
HTH,
Alan g
