New line

[ionic]

Hi all

This is probably going to sound very dull but, how do you get to the next
line after youve finished typing the first line?

Thanks in advance

In the absence of any context to this question: Hit the button that says
"Enter".

if you don't know how to get a new line, how did you write that message? </F>

Ok sorry guys,

using the python gui, if i hit the 'enter' key python just executes what
ever ive typed. It doesnt take me to the next line.

How do i type several lines without executing after each line?

Cheers

okay, you type your code in idle, and run your code by hitting the F5
key?

A bit more precision in your question would help. I'm going to assume
that by "Python GUI" you mean IDLE.

You are likely trying to work in the interactive prompt. Very useful,
but not for writing programs to save. For that, File->New and you will
be in an IDLE window that lets you edit, run, and save files. (Be sure
to save them with the .py extension, as IDLE doesn't automatically do so.)

Best,

Or in almost any other editor...

If the window you were typing in was showing a prompt ">>>", you
were in the interactive window.

To create a multi-line script, you need to pick whatever the
toolset uses for "new file" (I don't know idle -- I use PythonWin), then
save the file...
