	The preference here is that if you ask a question about code, you
provide the code IN the message -- you don't send us off to some site that
may or may not retain the code down the road (whereas the question posted
here may be archived forever)

	5 IS an int, so why coerce it to itself.

	Note that you ask for NEW input from the user on each if/elif. You want
to read ONE value from the user, and then compare THAT value on each
if/elif line.

	HINT: raw_input() can display a prompt string... so

	command = int(raw_input(
		"Enter a command "
		"(1 = North, 2 = East, 3 = South, 4 = West, 5 = Exit): "))

{Note: I took advantage of Python's ability to concatenate adjacent strings
-- that way the line doesn't wrap at odd locations in UseNet}
