I'm not sure you have really thought this through. The user typed "Chris", and that value is stored in 'name'. It might just as well have been "Bob" or "Kent". So you can't really say print Chris you need something like print the_thing_called(name) which you might as well spell as print values[name] Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
