Thanks for the tip, but my trial and error failed.

I tried putting    break_stmt ::=  "break"      at the point where I
want to start over....:) ,but since there is no "start ove"r command,
I was happy to end the program.

I get "invalid syntax so I tried    break_stmt

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Desktop/Python
3.4/Functions/random.py", line 11, in <module>
    guess = random.randrange(low,high)
  File "C:\Python34\lib\random.py", line 196, in randrange
    raise ValueError("empty range for randrange() (%d,%d, %d)" %
(istart, istop, width))
ValueError: empty range for randrange() (37,37, 0)
