Thank you all, I think I have it working now. It looks like it is in a window like python rather than a window like Skulpt, but I will give it a try and make sure it all works. Nothing like just tying it out to learn the basics. The more I try the more I learn. I learned a lot about Linux just installing this. Thanks again, Dan
