Right-click does nothing on the IPython window. The Windows command console is, I think, a lost cause all together. I've tried a right-click on it with the same result as in IPython. I'm using Win XP, and I hope they improve on Win 7, which I plan to install on all my machines this month. Gary

Hi, I'm using IPython raw. I guess I'm not sure what a shell is in this case. I used to work with Linux years ago and the shell concept was clear there. I'm now simply a Win XP user. What advantages would be available to use a shell? In part of the thread above,(posted 57 minutes after the hour, I

Well, that's interesting, but how did you copy and paste? Quick Python offers this, but no explanation how to copy and paste. The %hist command can show you all previous input, without line numbers if desired (option -n) so you can directly copy and paste code either back in IPython or in a text

Good. Thanks. Interesting that ls and pwd are used for Win, but that's fine. How do I copy parts of the window? All I can do at the moment is sweep out a rectangular area with the mouse. It looks like I underestimated the need for automagic. David Arnold wrote: > Depends on whether "automagic

I've seen the tutorial, but need something more. How do I know what folder I'm in? How do I move from where I am to, for example, C:\abc\def? So far I've tried various combinations like this: cd .. cd C:\ pwd (yes, I know it's not windows) I tried %cd .., and that may have moved me but I seem t
