Ah! That's relating to the close parenthesis problem I mentioned. That's the exact issue I saw. When you get told about a problem, sometimes the location pointed out isn't the actual cause. What you have is a (near) guarantee that the problem is no later in the file than that point; often it'll be on that line or the one previous line. In this case, the code is "raw_input(........ elif", which can't be properly parsed - the open parenthesis is forcing the code to be interpreted as an expression, and elif isn't an expression. If you're stuck figuring out a problem, one neat trick is to delete the line of code that's blamed for the problem and try again. If the problem disappears, it was on that line; if the problem moves down to the next line, it's probably on the preceding line. This trick doesn't always work, but it can occasionally be quite handy. ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
