John,<br>I'm using DrPython as an editor on slackware running on V-box.
With some strange reason when I try to copy and paste it to my windows,
doesn't allow me to that. And for that reason I only "typed" very small
parts of the code and during that I have missed " " around r and
possibly some other syntaxes. . Now With DrPython, if you try to save
your change, it won't let you to save it if you syntax issues or parts I
missing ( such as missing " " around r). <br><div class="ecxim"><br>> <br>> If you try your code one step at a time, you'll find that even<br>> your open line has a bug (missing quotes around r):<br>

don't understand why all of the sudden everyone think I'm wasting their
time !! I just have a deadline for a piece of work that is sue to 1 PM
