Newbie - Stuck

[r3bol at yahoo.com]

Thanks everyone. I guess I was a little quick to think I could jump
straight into Python. I understand the principals of what was said but
not the code just yet. I was always under the impression that python
was a cleaned up version of perl. I guess this excercise put me
straight! I will try and get through a lot more beginners tutorials
before attempting a stunt like that again ;)
Python has surprised me already (a good thing!)
Regards.
