Hi Simon: Thanks. I code in VB / VBA, and use indented structure, but it's not enforced they way it is in Python - still getting used to that. Also, I got goofed up editing some of the code in VIM, indenting with tabs, and then switching to IDLE, with space indentation. Whoops... Thanks for all the help everyone, my first Python program is now working! Keith -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
