Hello Paul. Thanks for the reply! (love your book, btw, and we're using it as a resource in our classes)
I just finished up following the instructions in the email in the original post. Everything seemed good until here..... 1. I rebooted. 2. I started the Quartz server. 3. I loaded IDLE. 4. I wrote "Import pygame" (w/o quotes). This is when it said it couldn't fine pygame. There was definitely an overlap of steps between what you have in your book and the instructions I followed from pygame.org. But not all the same..... I'll try your method. Thanks again.
