Hi Rodney, I did: cd python25. the system couldn't find this directory. I added the information by editing the environment variable and backing out of the dialogue by pressing the ok buttons until I was out of the dialogue. I am able to use the command prompt in my python directory sub folder since adding the path. However, perhaps I did something wrong as when I use the command prompt for windows run command, python is not showing up in the path. Thanks, Rob!

Do me a favor and try the following. Let's start by seeing if you can run from the command prompt. Since you already added python to your Path environment, the following steps should work. 1. Start a Command Prompt window (all programs/accessories/command prompt). 2. Change your directory to the directory where your script resides. For example if your script resides in c:\MyScripts you would type something like the following: Cd MyScripts 3. Now if file of extension "py" are associated with python.exe then you can just type in the following and the file will execute. Assuming the file name is "CoolStuff.py", type the following: CoolStuff.py And press enter. If you have any error results you will see them in the command prompt window. Good luck.
