I suppose there are people in the world who don't know what to do

Assuming a Windows system:
2. Type 'cd ' (as in Change Directory) in the command prompt window
(w/o
the single quote characters)
3. Drag/drop the folder containing your python script to your command
prompt window
4. Hit enter in your command prompt window.
5. Type python my_script_name.py to execute my_script_name.py.

If I enter just cd, then it tells me cd is not defined. If I enter
c:/python25, it tells me I have a syntax error at c in c:. The title
of the black background window I have up with a >>> prompt shown in
it is "Python(command line)". Maybe this isn't the real Python
console window?
What I want is that if I execute the program by double clicking on
its name to display the console window with the program or syntax
errors shown without it closing in a split second. Putting read_raw
in it doesn't work, since some error prevents it from ever being seen.
you need to open a dos prompt before doing the steps above. Go to
start->run and hit "cmd" <enter> without the quotes.
Something is amiss here. There's the MS Command Prompt, which I'm
looking at right now. Yes, it has cd, and so on. I'm also looking at the
Python command line window. It allow one to run interactively.
If I write a simple python program with just raw_input, by clicking on
the file name, I get a window with the the title "\Python25\pythonexe"
that shows the prompt. If I deliberately put a syntax error in the
program, and run it by clicking the file, then A window appears and
disappears so quickly that I have no idea what it said. How do I keep
that window up?
Which, if any, of these is the real Python console? What is the window
called in the example I gave with raw_input?
Run the program from within the MS command line, not by double clicking it.
