Take a look at <http://hkn.eecs.berkeley.edu/~dyoo/python/idle_intro/>. But the quick answer: Launch IDLE. File Menu -> New Window Type away. (Be sure to explicitly save with the py or pyw extension, as IDLE does not add it for you.) HTH, Brian vdB -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
