Picture command-line usage of python. You're sitting at your prompt, and you run a python script. It pops up a *new* window and you have to interact with that. Not a great user experience. Also, piping data to or from the script is impossible because stdin/stdout are tied to the new window. (I use Python for windows and pipe data to scripts everyday, so this is pretty important to me :-) ) I agree with Paul and Phillip that having two EXEs is necessary. -- Daniel Stutzbach, Ph.D. President, Stutzbach Enterprises LLC
