Thank you for the responses to my question. This was my first posting
and future questions will be made "clearer" to the group.
Joseph,
I have a feeling you are correct about the spacing. I will try that.
Its easy to just load the code file and see the result, but I will learn
more if I type out what I see in the book then see a result.
Thank much,
Peter

not). I'm hopeful it helps in some way.
I have the same book.
Using a text editor and the underscore and dash keys and a few
others...the program example is creating an ASCII art version on the
words "Game Over".
Type it manually probably means to type it out...NOT use copy and paste.
Can't get it to work probably means....it doesn't display properly (as
the book shows).
What needs to be done is he needs to play with the spacing of the
characters and different keys to get the "letters" drawn to display
closer to the book's example.

Well, that's definitely not what the code would be producing, nor does
it seem to be related to what the example claims to be doing...
Perhaps instead of
print(
"""
"""
)
which is a very strange idiom (though valid), you should write:
print(
"""
___ __ __
| | | | | |
| |__| | | |
| __ | | |
| | | | | |
|__| |__| |__|
"""
)
or perhaps you are looking at one example and the explanation of
another?
