I have a Python program that collects user input using msg = "Enter the full path and name of the file to be processed: " answer = raw_input(msg)
If I run it in IDLE, the question is splashed across the execution window, and if it is long, simply wraps to the next line. Most importantly, it is intelligible, because I see the entire message. I enter my answer on the next line, and once again, I can see the entire path and file name, even if it is longer than long. However, if I run it in ActivePython's PythonWin, a small message box pops up, with hardly any space to diplay msg and a smallish space into which I can type my answer. How can I force PythonWin to get its input from the execution window or to enlarge its message box sufficiently to display the entire question?
