Thanks Andre. That solved most of the problems. Now all the lists will run
correctly, but when I input a radius, it says:can't multiply sequence by
non-int of type 'float'When it displays that, it is talking about
circumference=(radius*2*3.14). I'm guessing it doesn't want me to multiply by
pi. PLEASE HELP!!!thanks in advance,Adam> Date: Wed, 23 May 2007 18:08:20
