I suppose it's worth mentioning then, that Python has it's own implementation of turtle graphics? I think it's in the standard library, isn't it? The "Live Wires" graphics module is also a good start --- very similar to the kind of graphics interface that I had when I was learning on my TRS-80 Color Computer with BASIC. ;-) -- Terry Hancock ( hancock at anansispaceworks.com ) Anansi Spaceworks http://www.anansispaceworks.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
