That's the PATHEXT environment variable. C:\tmp>set PATHEXT PATHEXT=.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH;.PY;.PYW;.tcl If you give a lone file name without an extension, it will try all of those extensions, in that order, to find an executable. Just add .PY to the end. There is a bug in NT's CMD.EXE that screws up redirection of stdin, but command line arguments and stdout work just fine. -- - Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
