Hi Alan,

But you're misinterpreting that part of message.  Let's look back at the
message:

    """no it is not homework, i havent started y idea yet but my question
    for now basicly say how do you get python to make a box pop up? you no
    like ask you a question or somthin. if you still dont understand i
    mean how do you make a program were a box pops and does somthing when
    you run the preogram"""

Try to ignore the misspellings for the moment.  I'm think he's really
trying to say:

    How do you get Python to make a dialog box pop up?  You know, like
    asking a question or something.  How do you connect the buttons up so
    it does something when you press it?

His "you no like ask you a question" was certainly not meant to be
interpreted as "You don't like to be asked questions?"  These kinds of
language misinterpretations is exactly the reason why careful writing
matters.
