Kermit accidently added a typo to the tutor at python.org address; I'll
forward this message to the list for him.

I will consider making it a permanent part of my web page.
After I upload it, I can send you the specific URL for it.

I've download and installed Thunderbird.
I'm sending this message through Thunderbird.
I did notice one annoying feature of Thunderbird.
When I used the up arrow , intending to go up a line, it went up a page.
I got around this by using the mouse cursor to move up a line.
Does everyone else, that uses Thunderbird, have to move up a few lines by
using the mouse cursor, or
is there another way,
for example by setting preferences?

Thank you. I will consider everyone's suggestions.
Those that make sense to me I will try to implement.
