Beginner's question: executing scripts under Win XP pro

[Jean-Claude Garreau]

Hi,

I'm a beginner with python 2.4. I use it on Win XP Pro. I have no problems 
with the GUI IDLE, but
when I copy the instructions in a script file, say 'test.py' and double 
click on the file, I have just a
console window for a few moments, no output shown and the window closes 
automatically before
I can do anything else. I am greatful if anyone can help me.

Thanks a lot,
