As a programmer, the mouse becomes less and less useful because it takes so
much longer to do what your eight fingers can do.  Trust me:  learn keyboard
shortcuts for everything and you'll be amazed as to how quicker it will be.
Oh, and you can easily get history in NT, and in Win9X, type DOSKEY once and
you'll have history.  (you may want to put it in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file)

Besides, you only need to use a DOS prompt to see the exceptions being
thrown when double-clicking on a .py file produces a window that disappears
right away...

I don't know what you're trying to do with this, but I don't think it will
work for you.  Your\Dir\Here was meant to represent the path where your
scripts were and also the point where you invoked Python...

The rest of your questions seem to have been answered...
