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

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

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,

OK, here I go. Quick Edit is checked, and I'm running from what looks like the Win XP command console. I am not in full screen mode. I've applied changes to the window. It has scroll bars side and bottom. I've moused the area, and now am going to Edit on the window menu. It works! I just

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
