[Tutor] put?

[Ross Glover]

Hi, I'm just learning python (as a first language) and I wrote this 
little snippet (cribbed from a website).  I'm wondering what 'put' is 
and how it's used.  I cannot seem to find much about it.

> word = raw_input("enter your word >>")
> put, get=os.popen4("dict -d wn " + (word))
> for lines in get.readlines():
>     print lines

thanks,

ross
