Suppose you want to get help about the max() function. Inside IDLE, at the command prompt, type: help(max) <ENTER> where <ENTER> means "press the ENTER key". If you want help about the min() function instead, type: help(min) <ENTER> If you have an object called "parrot", and you want to get help about that object, do this: help(parrot) <ENTER> If you just want general help about everything, type: help() <ENTER> and follow the instructions on screen. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
