Hi! There are a few ways you could do this. One is to run it from the command line. Another is to put this line at the end of the program: input("Press enter to exit. ") That should bring up the same screen (called a "console") and then have it wait until you're done reading it. A third way is to edit your code using Idle, and run it from there. I haven't done that in a while, though, so the details might have changed in the recent versions. All the best! ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
