Thanks for much for all the help, but it doesn't seem as if the wav file is being created, but I really don't get an error message.
Initially, I got error messages about TCL and TK lidbrary and I added them to the PATH. Do the encoder need to be in the source folder along with the code? Again, I don't know anything about programming, but was able to make sense of most of it. Any help would be helpful. Thanks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
