<DIV>Looking at two responses I recieved and combineing the info, I have
solved the problem.<BR><BR>When I first start up the IDLE gui, it is titled
"Python Shell" and I was attempting to enter everything here and I kept getting
>>> after each line I<BR>typed, and it would not work. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>IDLE
1.0.3 <BR>>>> def
newLine():<BR> print</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><BR>>>> print "First
Line"<BR>First Line<BR>>>> newLine()</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>>>> print "Second
Line"<BR>Second Line</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>But, I learned that if I open a new window from the "Python Shell" and then
enter everything, then save, it would work<BR>just fine.</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It was well described by Alan
Gauld.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff>"Thats correct. The interactive shell is intended for
trying thingsout.<BR>For example you can define your function there and play
with it to<BR>make sure it works before transferring it into your
program<BR>proper - this is how most Python programmers work in
practice.<BR>Experiment in the >>> shell then once it works transfer to
the<BR>final program in a
file."<BR></FONT><BR><BR>SunDragon<BR></DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
