Python needs to know where you have installed Dabo.  The easiest way to tell 
python how to find dabo is to use a "pth" file.  So you have to create a file 
that contains a single line similar to "C:\dabo" and name the 
file "dabo.pth".  The file contains nothing more that the location of where 
you installed dabo.  

You also need to save the file in the right location - "site packages".  Or in 
your case similar to "C:\python24\lib\site packages".  You can test if you 
have done everything correctly by starting python and typing "import dabo" on 
the first line.  If it worked you will not get an error message.
