As one newbie to another, I can recommend
<http://www.idi.ntnu.no/~mlh/python/programming.html> for an
introduction to programming, and
<http://www.idi.ntnu.no/~mlh/python/instant.html> for a bit more on
Python. After that, you might want to look at
<http://starship.python.net/crew/amk/grimoire/html/> for a
'cookbook' of useful techniques. If none of these take your fancy,
there are other links at the python site -
<http://www.python.org/doc/Intros.html>.

None of this covers Win95 in particular, but there is plenty there
to keep you going!

If you have any questions look ate the FAQs -
<http://www.python.org/doc/FAQ.html> and
<http://www.faqts.com/knowledge-base/index.phtml/fid/199/>. If you
can't find what you are looking for, don't be afraid to ask here -
this is one of the most civilised groups I have come across, and the
signal-to-noise ratio is *very* high.

Good luck!
