[Tutor] Enter? Tab?

Wed Nov 17 06:11:33 CET 2004

Harov,

That page isn't very clear. Alan, the author of that tutorial, reads
this list, so I'm sure he'll jump into this discussion, but I'll offer
my 2 cents.

The file listed under the "javascript" heading is the javascript
equivalent of this python program:

---Python code---

print "hello world"      #tutorial should mention this explicitly, but doesn't

--- end code ---

Further below that is the VBscript equivalent of the same python
program. They won't run in Python because they're not Python programs.

Peace
