Hi Wayne, Do you not see IDLE under Programs when you click the <Start> button? (I'm currently on my Linux machine so I don't recall the exact path, but that's how I access it when I'm on my laptop running XP.). Once you launch IDLE, then you can click File > New File and save your new Python program to any directory. Thanks.
