Hi John, In that case, we have to figure out why Max is getting stuck: it's not obvious at all at what step he's getting confused. Let's concentrate on isolating that confusion. I have no conceptual model of what Max already knows: * Does he know how to use functions? * Does he know about strings? * Does his tutorial material suck? * etc... so Max has to be a bit more forthcoming. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
