Yes, but if I am not mistaken, that will require me to put a line or two after each os.system call. That's almost like whack-a-mole at the code level rather than the Control-C level. OK, not a huge deal for one script, but I was hoping for something simpler. I was hoping I could put one line at the top of the script and be done with it. --Russ P. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
