Dave, Thanks for the guidance. I followed your advice and learned the following:
>>> import run >>> print "run module:", run run module: <module 'run' from 'C:\Python25\Lib\idlelib\run.pyc'> The run.py file is there also. I can read but not understand what run.py does. It may be something new in Python 2.5. I have unistalled Python 2.4 so I can't tell. Luke, I found this mystery main program in the extensive demos in \wsPython2.8 Docs and Demos\demo\. It is used throughout the demo code - in every demo sample I have looked at. It was a mystery to me when I found it there and tried to understand it. It is still a mystery. I guess that, I will just accept it as "pure magic" and go on with my effort to understand the many demo segments found there.
