Unable to use Help function

Win 10 Notepad is supposed to edit a Leo generated .py file containing only the LF EOL character, but it does not format correctly on my PC. All the lines run together. I haven't been able to find a source for the improved version of Notepad. Would it be possible for me to change the right-clic

Thanks for that Lewis. I have a simple question: why isn't there a simple one file installation .exe for Windows? I realize that to use this for python development, one would need python installed, and to create a gui application, one would need PyQT or some other graphic package. But if I ju

Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately, no such luck regarding the Start or Desktop. Is the correct executable LeoApp.exe? Why the huge disparity in download sizes among the various downloads? Do those reference links explain that? Thx again. On Wednesday, December 28, 2016 at 3:28:03 P

Your advice about Anaconda is good to know. Perhaps this information could be added to the Install Leo page in the Leo documentation? Using that page's existing advice, I went for the one-click Win install, which appears to be Leo_5.2-final_Win. Everything seemed to be fine, and Leo started up
