Thomas,
Beautiful. Gotta love it. I'll see if I can get the "interpreter" going. 
I particularly like it because I will be able to copy and paste 
wholesale when I stitch the final product back together again. Many thanks.

Going back to the one-liner, I discovered the following individual lines 
work:
print('hi')
if 1: print('hi')
print('hi');print('hi2')
if 1: print('hi');print('hi2')

but not:
print('hi');if 1: print('hi')

Chokes on the 'if'. On the surface, this is not consistent.

I'll drop the one-liners for now since I have something that I can work 
with as I learn to wrestle with Python.

thanks again.
