WOW!!! I really appreciate the immediate response from the community!!! I thank you all for all the help, and now I can start programming, and I also now have a resource for help for a Newbie;-)
Later on I will broach the subject of creating .exe programs so that anyone can run them on Windows, but that won't be for a while yet, but I did download ":cx_Freeze-3.0.1-win32-py24"; however, I don't have a clue on what the hell I'm doing yet, so I'll get to that later. Anyway, I once again thank you all for the support, and suggestions, and I hope to actually create something that people might use, like a magic 8 ball generator!;-p Best Regards, wpog "Scott Durkin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]: > wpog, > > In IDLE, go to the File menu and select New Window.
