hey Ed, 
I get that weird error when I tried to run the little loop, this is what it
says:

sys:1: DeprecationWarning: Non-ASCII character '\xa0' in file myloop.py on
line 3, but no encoding declared; see http://www.python.org/peps
pep-0263.html for details
  File "myloop", line 3
            os.system('/home/joe/src/myprog/myprog')
    ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

does it mean anything to you?

thanx in advance
