Hi Peter,
We're not familiar with the book, so you'll have to tell us exactly what
you're doing, what you're seeing, and what you're expecting ot see instead.
Suffice it to say, the script seems fine. When you run it (from an
operating system command prompt) it will print, in the command window, the
output in block letters etc.
Could be this is the problem. If it is not started at the command
prompt you won't see anything. Tripped me up when I first started.
You don't really (I suppose) want to be entering those statements directly
into the interpreter (which is what I'm guessing "typing it manually" might
mean), although they should also work. Obviously the exact output will be
different because if you enter the lines in the program manually into the
interpreter each line will be executed straight after entry.
I would guess that this means he types the program from the book, saves
it and then runs it. I often do this also, I find that it slows me down
and I tend to pay more attention to what I am reading.
Regards, Jim
Walter
