 * The *body* of the loop is *indented*: indentation is Python's way of grouping
-  statements.  Python does not (yet!) provide an intelligent input line editing
-  facility, so you have to type a tab or space(s) for each indented line.  In
-  practice you will prepare more complicated input for Python with a text editor;
-  most text editors have an auto-indent facility.  When a compound statement is
