Thanks for the reminder on that. I haven't need the DOS box for 8 months. Just off on other non-programming efforts for the most part. Things have picked up of late. I was beginning to think for awhile that Win7 might have dropped it. I don't see any changes to it.

When I use F5 to execute a py program in IDLE, Win7, I get a tab error on an indented else.

What happens if you execute from a command line? Do you get the same error?
If so look at the lines before.
If not try closing and restarting IDLE

Once you've discovered the DOS box, you should also discover QuickEdit mode. In the DOS box, right click on the title bar, and choose "Properties". First tab is Options. Enable Quick-Edit mode, and press OK. Now, you can drag a rectangle on the DOS box, and use right click to paste it to the clipboard. Practice a bit and you'll find it easy. An essential tool.
