Note, this was a mis-print.  Cutting and pasting between
IDLE and Eudora gets me into trouble sometimes.  That
was really 'if i>250: break' -- which is why we got those
additional primes.

Yes, thanks Tim, for reminding me to check the examples,
written by pros who've had a lot of time to think about
this stuff.  Just doing a quick example and getting it to
work, w/o checking those first, was also encouraging --
means even a non-pro like me can pick up the new toys
and play with 'em, right out of the box (thanks to
'batteries included').
