Hi Larry,
Thanks for help. I retried to run the script. My script is as simple
as:
import os
dir=os.getcwd()
print "cwd is",dir
The results are:
1) If I edit it with a text editor, and try to compile at Python
shell, the error message is: SyntaxError: invalid syntax
2) If I run the module by pressing F5, it ran, and printed out the
directory name
Can you figure it out? Thanks!
