Hi, The examples worked for me too, and I am using IDLE on Windows. And isn't the program supposed to return control to the terminal even if the Graph Window is in the background?

I am not an expert, but it may help. --musically_ut On 4/9/07, Lou Pecora <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I assume you mean the first example, the wire frame > (see below). It works for me. No problems.
