true I get the following:
File "H:\dev\eclipse\workspace\genXls\src\genXls\genXlswPrompt.py", line 11,
in <module>
import promptUser_PWord
File "H:\dev\eclipse\workspace\genXls\src\genXls\promptUser_PWord.py", line 58
return user_pword
SyntaxError: 'return' outside function
so what I get from the various postings is promptUser_PWord must be
converted to a class. True?
