Your first thread was about getting Beautiful Soup installed and 
working.  If you can successfully import it, you're ready for a new 
thread, new subject line, etc.

Note the new thread's opener should be self-contained, meaning you 
should mention the environment (version of BS, version of Python, 
version of what OS), and your difficulty.

My guess is that the book is now describing what goes in a program, not 
at the "command prompts".  A program is typically written in a text 
file, not at the interpreter prompt, though experimentation is certainly 
done there.

Once you have a program in a text file (usually with the extension .py), 
you run it at the OS terminal prompt by typing:
      python  myprogram.py
