Thanks, Bob. I just re-read it. I actually understood about 25% of 
it. I think one of the problems is that I'm not really a systems kind 
of guy. In fact, I'm really an Inventive User kind of guy and not as 
much of a propeller-head as I'd like to think I am sometimes! :-)

That said, I *do* want to master Python well enough to be able to do 
increasingly serious work. I've already climbed far enough up the 
curve to have produced some things my clients, at least, think are 
wonderful.

That thread mentions the pythonw script, but I don't seem to have one 
even though I *think* I'm up to speed on the lateset install.

Ah. Another case of Darwin doing things behind my back. Thanks for 
the explanation.
