I generally write my Python code in Idle or VIM on a Linux machine and
then envoke it by typing: python file_name.py.  This works very well but
I recently put the Python interpreter on my tiny Compaq Lite LTE
notebook.  I can enter code into the interpreter but if I write a file
(like Tim) I can't execute it.  Idle didn't come with the Win 3.1
version of Python.  Any other suggestions.
