The OP has not specified what his problems specifically are, but "earlylight 
publishing" described his problem before, and he was not understanding why 
the >>> prompt was expecting immediate keyboard input when he typed in 
raw_input(). So a noob cannot figure out why it is advantageous to have a 
raw_input function that immediately asks for input. He thinks, "why can't I 
put the input in directly?" That is why putting a program into an edit 
window is very advantageous.

I believe it is very likely that raw_input() is the culprit of confusion 
here.
