If the install (I have always used the ActiveState installs so don't know what plain Python does on Windows) has set up the environment such that ".py" files are executable, then putting the script directory on the regular system PATH should let you run them by entering their name in a command shell. -- Wulfraed Dennis Lee Bieber AF6VN wlfraed@ix.netcom.com HTTP://wlfraed.home.netcom.com/
