Hello Jamal and listers, I was able to get the program to run and hold the output on the screen by including the raw.input line at the end of the program. It ran like a charm from within Ed Sharp. I'm using the most current version; the one you released about a week ago. Thanks for the help.

One is to open a console window in the directory containing the file. Edit the code in EdSharp and then Alt+Tab to the command prompt to run the program. If the .py extension is associated with python.exe, then just entering the script name should run it, e.g., hello.py A second option is to pick the Python compiler/interpreter with Control+Shift+F5 and then execute the compile command with Control+F5. EdSharp will speak any messages sent to standard output. If there is a syntax error, it will also put the cursor there.
