OK... how come when I make a python script such as the one Sheila King
posted (below) and execute it through my local IE5.5, it executes in a
python window (DOS window) as opposed to in the browser?  I'm using PY2.1 on
a WIN95 machine with IE5.5.  I don't really know how to express this any
better (I'm just beginning to pick up some of this new language called
"programerese"), but if this isn't clear I'll try again...

Thanks in advance,

Mark
