Amy,

I change to read/write/exec rights prior to editing - I think the color 
coding and highlighting is significant.  When I made errors in coding 
the color change for a reserved word would not appear and forgetting the 
':' causes a failure in the indentation of subsequent lines.  In other 
cases i wrote the files from scratch and have seen both the color and 
highlighting appear.

One copy - with no changes fails to execute using the same command.  The 
only difference is that the file ends with a '1', i.e. fgrepwc.py* -> 
fgrepwc1.py*.

Thanks
