cnb, That is on of the things i want to fix with this code. I meant to mention in my original post that i've only been programming with Python for a little over two weeks. The only other experience with programming i've had is with Basic on my TI-83 calculator in high school. This isn't my excuse to sloppy code, its just my explanation of why i've done the coding the way i have. I hope to keep getting better.
