I'm not sure from your question what exact problem you are experiencing. Do you mean: IDLE 1.1.1 >>> help() Welcome to Python 2.4! This is the online help utility. <snip> help> topics Here is a list of available topics. Enter any topic name to get more help. ASSERTION DELETION LOOPING SEQUENCES <snip> DEBUGGING LITERALS SEQUENCEMETHODS2 help> LOOPING Sorry, topic and keyword documentation is not available because the Python HTML documentation files could not be found. If you have installed them, please set the environment variable PYTHONDOCS to indicate their location. help> If so, I posted a similar question a year or so ago to the tutor list. I believe that when I resolved it I posted details about the resolution. I've since got a new computer, and just redid it now to check. Just download the html version of the docs and then, as per the instructions above, set an environment variable to point to them. (On WinXP: Control Panel->System-Advanced->Env. Var. When I had WinME, a line in autoexec.bat) Best, Brian vdB -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
