what happens when you type python at a command prompt ? if you get a >>> prompt, what happens if you type print "hello" at that prompt? >>> print "hello" if that appears to do what it says, what happens if you type >>> import this if all this seems to do something other than printing "syntax error" or "unknown command" or similar stuff, point your browser to this page: http://docs.python.org/tut/tut.html and work through the first few chapters. otherwise, post the error messages. </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
