There are several things you can do to improve your chance of getting
good help from this group.

- Set your software to emit "plain text" only; don't post the same
content again with needless HTML formatting.

- Summarise the problem you're actually having and use that as the
Subject line. A post entitled "QUESTION ABOUT PYTHON" is no use;
this is a Python group, we *know* it's going to be about Python.

- Tell us what it is you're actually doing, and what result you're
getting that differs from what you expect.

- Read the guide on how to ask questions the smart way:

The PATH determines where program are looked for, it does not run
them automatically.

So, at that command prompt, you need to enter the command

python

followed by hitting the Enter key, and THAT will give you a Python
interpreter prompt if you have your PATH set right. Alternatively,

\python23\python

will work no matter how your PATH is set, as long as you have a
standard installation of Python 2.3 (which you should).
