Hello! It is great that you are getting to saving your programs to a file. What are you trying so far? Are you using notepad.exe? Note that wordpad and MS Word will not work! Some people also like notepad++ when on Windows. When you save your file, make sure the 'save as type' select list shows 'all files *.*' if it doesn't have anything for python. then you can add a .py extension on your file. Have you ever used the printscreen feature to get an image of the problem you are seeing? -- William Leslie Notice: Likely much of this email is, by the nature of copyright, covered under copyright law.
