[Tutor] Running Python from Windows command line

[Geoffrey Bays]

How do I run Python from the Windows 98 'run' line?  When I try to do so, 
the MS-DOS window pops up for a flash and then vanishes.
I have been working through 'Learning Python' running all modules from the 
interactive interpreter using the 'import' command. I want to try the " 
if__name__ == "__main__': " test in the book, but can't do so without 
running modules from the command line.
My apologies for such a newbie and windows related question. Thanks
