I'm going through the tutorial "Learning to Program" at
http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld/.  I reached the section
talking about sys.exit().  I typed it in as indicated, but I received
errors rather than it actually exiting the Python Shell windows
generated when starting IDLE.  Here is the text:

==============================
>>> import sys
>>> sys.exit()

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#20>", line 1, in -toplevel-
    sys.exit()
SystemExit
==============================

I seem to have issues running some programs from the web, but not
others. I do make sure that the prereqs are met.

Thanks for any help,
Will
