And in case you missed Bob's point - don't do that! Use a text editor like Notepad, or better still IDLE or Pythonwin or any other editor designed to work with Python. But it must save the files as plain text. > Therefore: it is better to run the program by calling > python explicitly. Open a command prompt and > enter (for example):.... Or alternatively use an IDE like IDLE or Pythonwin to execute the program while you are testing it since they will stay open after an error. Once it works in IDLE you can run it by double clicking as usual. -- Alan Gauld Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
