        Where is that last import statement coming from? It's not in any Dabo  
code. The exe is not a Python module, and cannot be imported.

        I've never seen that, and the Runtime Engine has been tested almost  
exclusively on XP. If possible, can you grab a screenshot of that and  
send it to me off-list?

        You'd have to configure the registry to associate .py files with  
daborun.exe, and we don't do that because we don't want to mess up  
people's systems.

        Try this: drag a .py file and drop it on the icon for the Runtime  
Engine. Does it run correctly then?
