(1) I run python by c:\Python25>Python <Enter>
Once in the interpreter, I can import the pygame modules, initialize Python,
make a window, but when I try to set the caption it won't work. I did get it
to work in the GUI, however.
pygame.display.set_caption('Monkey Fever')
(2) C:\Program Files\examples\data\chimp.bmp "Is the path to the image"
When trying to load the image with:
monkey_head_file_name = os.path.join("data","chimp.bmp")
>>> print monkey_head_file_name "Creating
a relative Path"
data\chimp.bmp
monkey_surface = pygame.image.load(monkey_head_file_name) "From the
tutorial...trying to load the image"
