You didn't indent the line with print on it. You have to put some
whitespace (say, a space) before the print otherwise it won't be a block
belonging to the while:.
In the editor, you probably did write the spaces.
When you put the spaces and hit enter after the print line, it will give
another line with dots, where you can continue the block. Just hit enter and
it will run.
