Yes, it works in the editor. I was referring to the simulated interpreter. I guess I didn't make that clear. In my search for a solution, I did see some of the traffic regarding the tracker issue, but the posts were all several years old and I was hoping maybe there was a fix by now. I guess not. Maybe in Python 4, eh? Thanks. Alex -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
