Changing the extension works fine in XP to suppress the console window, but I don't understand how to enter the command you suggested in CE. Did you find a console for CE that permits you to type in commands? Does CE come with one (that I have been unable to locate)? I also posted a related question last week, but I never saw my message in the digest (which happens frequently). I am also wondering what the procedure is for attaching an icon to my application so that I can run the application by tapping the icon? And, to be precise, what I would like is to run my Python program in such a way that the console window does not appear. Perhaps tapping the icon would run the command that you suggested above. -- Jeffrey Barish _______________________________________________ PythonCE mailing list PythonCE@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonce
