Why are you reading documentation for Python 1.5? There have been just a few releases since then. Try reading http://docs.python.org/using/cmdline.html instead, specifically the part about the -i command line option. Or you could just try "python -?" at a command prompt. -- Duncan Booth http://kupuguy.blogspot.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
