 From pty?  I don't even see it listed in the docs in the first  
place.  Where is it?

Okay, if I posted a list of guidelines for people trying to help out  
on this, would someone please post it?  It is really discouraging to  
try this twice and get shot down both times.  It's not like I'm a  
newb to programming/commenting, there's just no guidelines to follow  
other than "give it a whirl" on the stdlib intro pages. So I'm stuck  
wasting everyone's time and mine with this trial and error.
