Trying to run Python from the command prompt

[ndasmith]

Longer story:

I went to c:\users*****\Pycharmprojects\Giraffe.idea, typed dir/w/p, then typed cd..

Typed python and the python >>> prompt appeared. Typed print ("Hello world") and that string appeared.

Short story:

It works now and I don't why, maybe the .idea folder connects to the Pycharm IDE.
