OK - (and remembering I am a bit of a Python novice myself and others may suggest better ways) - 2 ways to do it :- 1/ Go into a Command window (remember DOS!!), go to your project directory and then give the command c:\python25\python <path to your ide folder>\CxnEditor.py 2/ Another way is to set up Windows so that all files with the extension .py are opened by c:\python25\python - then you can just double click the file in explorer etc - but my advice is ALWAYS run any IDE program in the home directory of your project - avoids lots of potential pitfalls with files ending up in the wrong place etc
