The link is above, in the first paragraph, beginning with the words "Just one more thing, Cameron." > And then, of course, tell us what "live" means :-) Live means live. It is not a word I created. It means that the link has been activated, so clicking on it will take you to the associated page. Here is a definition from www.yourdictionary.com/live-link. "Live Link - Computer Definition: An active text or graphic link on a Web page. Clicking the link redirects the user to another Web page or a document or image." The link to the definition I just copied into this paragraph is not live because clicking on it will not do anything. This question became moot when I posted my message, because that action activated the link. That is why I asked in my next post how one can edit one's own messages, because at that point I would have deleted this post. Thanks, Tamara -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
