Cory: the FAQ is your friend, but nobody here is likely to hate you for
failing to use it (the first time, at least :-). I and a couple of others
spent some time on

    http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw.py?req=show&file=faq08.018.htp

so newcomers would be able to run Windows programs. Let me know if it leaves
you with unanswered questions.
