        I think it is 2.2 on Mandrake Linux 8.2; don't remember if I upgraded 
my W98 side from 2.2.

        Thing is, I don't do enough in Python to have learned all the changes 
from 1.5.x (which goes back to my Amiga days).

        Instead of

                string.upper(userin)

I could have used

                userin.upper()
