Kent and Alan - thanks! I moved things around a bit and I think it "looks" better:

That's exactly what I needed! My issue is that I don't use Python enough (or computers, for that matter) to remember everything I've learned previously ... after I saw that, I remember I had read it before ... I just do it for fun, so one of the challenges is finding the right word/answer to what I need to do ... hopefully, if I stick with Python long enough it will become more second nature ... This list is a great resource because I learn a lot from other people's issues ... and is easy to search, too, for my own! Thanks again, everyone. > > Kent > _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
