http://docs.python.org/tut/tut.html Your program in python would be: print "hello" print "jim" You don't have line numbers in Python Yes the interpreter can load a text file with your program. A good "beginners" version of Python for windows is: http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePython/?tn=1 It has an easy to use interpreter window with both your program and interactive prompt open on the screen. To run a program you click run icon. To run outside the interpreter you type python programname.py -Larry -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
