[visionegg] getting started

Hello everybody,
I want to perform some electrophysiological experiments on the visual system of birds.
As I searched the internet I came accross the Vision Egg programm and when I saw the screenshots of the Ephys_gui I found this programm to fit very well to my experimental setup. I want to present gratings, bars etc with different properties and in varying angles. The problem is that I am new to any programming.
I successfully installed the programms as recommended under "Instruction for Python2.3" and downloaded the demos.
If I go to the Python folder (using the Windows-"Start"-button - "Programs" - "Python 2.3.4"), I can start:
IDLE (python GUI), Module Docs, Python (command line), etc...
OK, now my question: how can I make the Ephys_gui run (...if I doubleclic on the demofile nothing happends)? Is there any way to perform easy experiments using Vision Egg without learning a whole programming language (the Ephys_gui seem to provide all parameters I want to be controlled...)?
I hope anyone can give me some advice.
Thanks in advance.
Joe
