Letter for letter, maybe, but not space for space. Indentation is important in Python. The "ready =", "if ready", and "else:" statements must start in column 1. The two print statements need to be indented, as they are. -- - Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
