something like "curses" but w/o the fancy window decorations perhaps ?<br>if so, then following link might help (<a href="http://www.amk.ca/python/howto/curses/" target="_blank">http://www.amk.ca/python/howto/curses/</a>).<br>

</div>Hi Malcom,<br>
<br>
Doesn't the optparse module work by parsing the arguments that are<br>
passed to the script when it is invoked?<br>
<br>
What I was looking for was a commandline read loop that executes<br>
within a script that is already running ... or can optparse be used in<br>
this context as well?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
James.<br>
