Hi,
Thanks for your input.  I'm presently downloading enthought python - no asian 
mirror, so it'll take a really long time to download even on broadband at 
10kbps) - but I don't think it's a distro problem.  I'm probably not doing it 
right as I'm now using IDLE and still have the same problem.  For example, here 
is the traceback for a simple file I made and tried to run in IDLE: 
  # test.py
x = 1 + 1 
print x
  In IDLE, I tried to run it by typing test.py 
  Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#13>", line 1, in <module>
    test.py
NameError: name 'test' is not defined
  However, when I open the file in IDLE using the  menu, and then run it also 
from the menu, it works.
  Am I not calling the program properly?
  p.s.  Wonder why word wrap didn't work on my first post.  Thanks to all who 
scrolled.
