I'm sorry, I guess I wasn't clear.  We've got version 2.2.2 on a
Windows machine and are running it via Idle 0.8.  I don't know what
PythonWin is (but I'll look it up).  I don't have the icon you speak
of.  If PythonWin is the recommended way to run Python on Windows (as
opposed to Idle), then I'll go ahead and set that up.

Last night we plotted some straight-line images right out of his math
book assignments, then we changed their sizes and colors and
orientations by changing a few constants in the display code.  Very
cool!

It's also interesting to me as Python is my first non-statically-typed
language.  Very loosey-goosey!  Not bad, just different!
