really? That's just like C. I thought that it would fail because of the way
lists work. Thanks!
what way?
the first three will fail if the string is empty.

I suggest you to try the interactive shell:
>>> "hello"[0]
'h'
>>> "hello"[0] == "<"
False
>>> "hello"[0] == "h"
True
>>> "hello".startswith("h")
True
Bye,

Excellent! it works. But I have one more question. How can I test to see if
the first character of a string is what I want, for example, how can I test
to see if the first char of a string is "<"?
