The ':' separator is for old Mac systems using Mac OS prior to version 10.0. As of 10.0, they've moved to a unix based environment where the path separator is now a '/' character. There's been enough time passed you'll have a very hard time finding one of the old systems. --David -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
