I know I mentioned in this in the documentation for Program 1 -- but I 
need to say it again because it has come up twice today.

Python uses indention to determine which parts of a program go 
together.  For that reason you have to pay very careful attention to how 
much you indent things and where you indent things.  If you copy and 
paste from the PDF file straight into Notepad (or Text Editor for Mac 
folks), you will in all likelihood lose the indentation structure.  Just 
add the appropriate spaces so that things look indented like they are in 
the program shown in the PDF file.
