    Thanks. I thought I had the same version at home and at the office.
They both claim to be 1.5.2 (in the docs and the interpreter as well).
But section 3.3.5 here at the office is the same as section 3.3.6 at
home - at least they look the same on first glance.

    Thanks. Something is very strange here... Let's see, dll this,
Delphi component that... OH:

    If you say "from math import *" first you'll find that
pow(2,2,2) doesn't work anymore, for reasons I imagine
you can figure out. I was testing all this from a shortcut
with command line

D:\PYTHON\Python.exe -i startmath.py

You can guess what the first line of startmath.py is.

Sorry. Thanks. Duh.
