Hi Jim,

I don't still have a copy of my Welcome msg. But the following links
all are good places to look:

<http://www.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide>
The Python wwiki's beginner's page

<http://groups.google.ca/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&group=comp.lang.python>
Search com.lang.python

<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/moinmoin/RecentChanges>
The Python Wiki page -- not the front, but the recent changes which is
how I like to enter it.

<http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond/mozilla/pythonpanel.xul>
The Python Sidebar for Mozilla -- works for FireFox, too. A useful 
tool if you're using the right [ambiguity intended ;-)] browser.

<http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html>
How To Ask Questions The Smart Way by Eric Raymond.
The Tutor list won't bite you if you don't follow any of the advice in
that essay. But it is a very useful thing to read to learn how best to
frame your questions so as to get maximum return from everyone's
effort (your and those who answer you both).

HTH,

Brian vdB
