Dear Alan
Hi,
First of all let me thank you very much for that excellent
tutorial. As a Python beginner, I learned many things from that.
As I have mentioned in my previous message to this list, in
that example I had to replace "ky = msvcrt.getch()" with
"ky = chr(msvcrt.getch())". The other problem is that when
the program is finished the previous terminal state is not
restored (I am using xterm on Linux).
Finally, I noticed a typo in the example "class Message" in
section Object Oriented Programming. __init__ is written __inti__
in "def __inti__(self, aString):".
Regards,
Hossein
