question<BR><BR></FONT>
<DL>
<DD>I am trying to follow some online first timer tutorials, and I am
writing the practice scripts in notepad (only w32 at work <FONT
face=Wingdings size=2>L</FONT>).. I save the script with a .py
extension, and when I run it it opens for a brief moment in a command
prompt then closes before I even have a chance to see what it says.
This may seem trivial, but Python also happens to be my first language so
this is all new to me. Using Python 2.4.2<BR><BR>
