OK, so when you open Terminal, you’re usually in your home directory to start
(/Users/whatever/). You can confirm this by running `pwd`.
If you saved the file to your Downloads folder (for example), you can either go
into that folder first
cd Downloads
python scan_mnemonics.py
or reference the file from where you currently are
python Downloads/scan_mnemonics.py
or what might be easiest… type `python ` (including the space) and then just
drag the file from a Finder window and drop in on the Terminal window.

It’ll only show the ones you enter on line 10. If you want to see them *all*,
change line 13 from
for qsab in lookfor:
to
for qsab in mnemonics['abbreviation']:
