I think I may have been attempting to use pipes to redirect stdin and/or stdout when the problem first presented itself. Unfortunately, once I closed the window, I lost whatever pipe combination I had tried. It just occurred to me that I was unsure if I had been doing that pipe correctly, and that maybe I overwrote python.exe. Sure enough, the modify date on that file indicated I overwrote it. A re-install has resolved the problem. It's just a little embarrassing that I didn't think of that until now, but the fact that everything else seems to work was throwing me off. Of course, everything else was running `pythonw.exe` not `python.exe`. Anyway, thanks for the pointer Arnaud. -- ---- \X/ /-\ `/ |_ /-\ |\| Waylan Limberg
