Something very strange is happening on my system. After I downloaded the aliases.py file and saved it, I couldn't find it via the Explorer, but it was visible via an Open and Save dialog of some programs (such as Opera). I've conducted another experiment. I created several text files with a Notepad that contained text 'alia' in their names and none of them were visible after I had saved them to the disc. For example the files alia1.txt, alias.txt, aliases.txt, aliases2.txt, aliases.py.txt were all invisible in the Explorer, but the files ali.txt, ali1.txt were visible. I must add that I can see files that have an invisible attribute just fine in the Explorer. -- Alexei Vinidiktov _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
