hi ronin, another alternative you have in IDLE is to just open a source window by going to the File menu -> New Window, and doodling in there. then just click F5 (to save and) run your doodling. that way your code is already saved in a file. i do have to admit that it's not as easy as just playing in the interpreter and typing Ctrl-A and pasting that into your text editor, e-mail window, etc. good luck! -- wesley - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "Core Python Programming", Prentice Hall, (c)2006,2001 http://corepython.com wesley.j.chun :: wescpy-at-gmail.com cyberweb.consulting : silicon valley, ca http://cyberwebconsulting.com _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
