One other thing. That page is now quite old and out of date. You should switch to the current web site:

inp = file("menu.txt", "r")*What is inp? What does it now contain?*
inp is a variable and it is referencing the file object you created using the file() function. (As the tutor points out you could also use open() and in fact open() is now preferred over file() ) HTH, -- Alan Gauld Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
