Dear Joel: HI! Thanks for helping. When I use the Python shell, and navigate
to the saved Python program, what happens is:
A second Python shell pops up, displaying the coding of the program (which is a
tiny 'hello world' program). This is what is displayed in the second Python
shell:
>>> print("Hello, World!")
In the first Python shell, when I type in what you requested, this is what
happens:
>>> python myprogram.py
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>> python hello.py
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>>
I am not able to use the Python shell to find the saved Python program. I am
able to use Notepad++ to locate the saved Python program, but I cannot run the
program. I cannot do anything with the command prompt (black box).
I request help to figure out how to run Python programs. Thanks for helping me!
