Yes! After I did that, now when I call E:\Python26\Lib\idlelib\idle.pyw the IDLE that opens uses 2.62. But I also want to use Ulipad, actually my main Python editor. When I call E:\Programs\Ulipad3.7\UliPad.pyw (by clicking on it in Explorer), Ulipad no longer opens. Before I made the change you suggested, at least Ulipad would open using 2.51. What can I do to use both IDLE and Ulipad with 2.62? Dick _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
