Thanks Gabriel. I didn't know about the drag&drop capability (learn something
every day, forget two things). BTW input() works for me in 2.5.
Cheers

I very much appreciate all the help offered on this, but feel a bit of an
idiot now as I can't reproduce the behaviour (it had happened on two
separate machines).

What I am still getting is a similar problem on my work computer with the
program on a network hard drive. Not always - it'll run on repeated
attempts, then fail for a few, then work again. When it failed I ran the
script as suggested:

import os
print("curdir=", os.getcwd())
print("__file__=", __file__)
input()

and got the response:

curdir= H:\
__file__= H:\FRCR\FRCR2010\Course documents\FRCR2009\Script1.py

so it's 'sticking' at H:

For interest, I ran the script from IDLE, too, and PythonWin, on three
separate computers (2 Python3, 1 Python2.6)

With that I get a NameError for __file__

curdir= H:\FRCR\FRCR2010\Course documents\FRCR2009
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "H:\FRCR\FRCR2010\Course documents\FRCR2009\Script1.py", line 3,
in <module>
print("__file__=", __file__)
NameError: name '__file__' is not defined

What have I done wrong?
