No that is actually a classic. Well at least I have seen it a few times 
before on the list.

The problem is that if you have allready launched python you are typing 
dos commands into Python. And that doesn't quite compute :-/

You are trying to run a Python program that looks like:

     python script.py

And naturally that will not work.

Btw. wouldn't it be good practice to write possible/more keywords in the 
bottom of an answer-post so that it can be easier google'd ??? or is 
that a stupid idea?
