Re: [pygame] mystery examples in pygame tutorial

Charles and Ian,

Thanks very much for yr help. Indeed, I would have googled on the
problem before putting it here, but it never occurred to me that I
would get hits for so specific a question. I'm glad to be part of a
community where lots of help is available for beginners. Hopefully
I'll soon be able to be a giver here as well as a taker.

Regards,

Tom
