Hi Greg
Well too some fiddling, Text edit saved the file as .py.rtf and it failed (even
after changing the name and extension) I then looked at it in another editor
and there was a load of characters like ?/ etc in place of the spaces. So I
opened the .py file and copied teh code again and pasted it in and voila it
worked.
Though I have to say it still needs some work - as when you run it again it
forgets the path of the files on my computer
So all in all I think it is easier to use the interface and get used to it -
the tips in the last email helped a lot.
kind regards
Colin
