When Alan says to run the program from a terminal window, he means, - open terminal - type the command to run your program - something like > C:\Python24\python \path\to\myprogram.py This is different from just double-clicking the program, the terminal window will stay open. You could also open a terminal window and just run Python, then type or paste the pylab commands into the interpreter. I.e., run terminal, then type > \Python24\python >>> from pylab import * etc. IIUC it is a bad idea to run a Tkinter program from IDLE, it can get a bit confused. That may be the reason for your original error. Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
