Thanks. That works great when interpreted (though a blank window seems to open as well). Unfortunately it still takes 40 seconds to execute after it has been 'compiled' with py2exe (I've only got a P3). This probably has something to do with the fact that the resulting files for this two-liner weigh in at just under 8MB. Sounds like I'll need to write a one-line msgbox.exe in Visual Whatever or Euphoria and execute that from Python. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
