Hi Scott, Bob gave you the basic instructions that you need to complete the task that you are asking for. If you don't know how to do this, I would suggest that you start with the following Python tutorial: http://www.greenteapress.com They provide an excellent tutorial for learning the basics of Python -- and best of all, it's free and written for absolute beginners.
