Fix what? You haven't given us any clue what you are talking about. Did you have a problem? If so what?

How can I fix this? So did lmxl fix it? Since you are posting the question I assume not? Can you clarify what exactly you are asking? -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
