Sorry, I don't think Hotmail has turn off HTML. If it does I havn't been able
to find it. I think you're going to have to explain your little bit of text
stuff down there at the bottom. I have no idea what most of that means. All
my choice things are working now though. I think that is what you were trying
to help me with. What I used wasif shape in["1","circle"]:and if shape == "1"
or shape =="circle":It works perfectly fine now.Ya that little bit o' code is
really puzzling. I wish I knew more about this python deal. I understand the
concept, but not the rules or the techniques and things of that sort. OK...
I've got it... the data=raw_input('Feed Me!'). Ok I now understand that bit.
Then it says Feed Me! and you put 42 (the ultimate answer to life the
universe, everything). OK, it won't accept the <type 'str'> bit. it doesn't
like the "<". Well, I just removed that bit and it said:Feed Me! and I put
42, and it said >>> (I guess it's satisfied now, with the whole feeding). Well
if I understood what 'str' meant, then I could probably figure the rest out.
Well I have to go do other things so I'll save the rest of this figuring out
till later.I shall return,Adam> Date: Wed, 23 May 2007 12:12:16 -0400> From:
