Hi , I've been using Python on windows for a short time.
I Just loaded RH8 on to a laptop and went to use Python, its not listed =
anywhere in the GUI, I found it by opening the Terminal.
In terminal I typed Python, and now Python is running.
However its at the >>>_ prompt, so my question is how do I open a file =
to write a program, and save it as I did in Windows.
Its a newbie question for sure! But I do want to get back to my =
tutorial's and would prefer to stay on RH, rather than  using another =
box with windows.
Thanks for your time.
Paul.
