There seems to be some miss-understanding on what's going on!  It seems
to me that you're typing "python", hitting Enter key, then typing
"helloworkd.py" *inside* the Python interactive shell and that's *not*
what I said!

All you need to type is "python helloworld.py", then hit the Enter key.
Of course, you need to be inside the directory that holds that file.

Just start a command prompt, type "cd C:\Documents and Settings\Micky",
hit Enter, type "python helloworld.py", hit Enter and your script should
run fine.


If you get anything else, just repost here again.  Do *not* let this get
in your way of learning!  If I (or anyone else on this list) didn't want
to help you, we wouldn't responded to your questions in the first place.

Ziyad.
