Dittos, guys.
Alan, I work for a state government, so I'm not suppose to download PYTHON
without submitting reasons and getting permissions. I'm an applications
programmer working on SAP (ASAP programmer), and we have some COBOL and Cold
Fusion also. So we are pretty compartmentalized.
Anyway thanks for the tip and I'll use it next time.
Thanks,
Steve

that. geeze now i feel like a moron. however, i didn't know about that quick

You can just type in the PATH statement every time you
start DOS
PATH= %PATH%;D:\Python25
And it will have the same effect.
You can even create a Batch file and put it into
somewhere your PATH can see
D:\Python25\python %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
should work.
But how did you install Python if you can't change the
system? If you have access to install programs you
have access to set environment variables, at least
for yourself!
