I am unclear on what your question is, therefore I cannot give you 
direction on fixing this.
Try to answer some of these questions and I'll see if I can figure out 
what's wrong.

What do you mean by the 'first one you made' works but the 'second one' 
doesn't?
which is the first and which is the second? are you creating both of 
them in the same way?
By 'command prompt' do you mean 'IDLE interactive interpreter' or do you 
mean the DOS prompt?
'the one that worked' is 'the first one', right? how can the first one 
bring up the answer for the old one?

If you go to the directory where you saved the new file, is its icon a 
snake or a text document?
