[Tutor] Help please with a module location error

[andy surany]

I think that this is a problem with IDLE. If I execute a "print"
statement before the "import", it seems to work - at least the first
time. In order to run the program again, I have to re-start IDLE.
However, the program does execute fine from the command line interpreter
AND from a "DOS" prompt.

So, in reference to the expression: "if it hurts, stop doing it", I will
simply run the program from the DOS prompt.

Thanks Doug for helping me on this.

Regards,

Andy
