try (untested):

# Initialize Variables string = "" stringlength = 0 rstring = [] # Begin Program string = rawinput("Enter a string and I will display it backwards.\n") stringlength = len(string) for i in range (stringlength, 0, -1): rstring.append(string[i - 1]) print ''.join(rstring), print "\n" rawinput("\nPress the enter key to exit")

This works fine if the loop and print are:

for i in range (stringlength, 0, -1): rstring.append(string[i - 1])

print ''.join(rstring)

Sorry for what is surely a dumb question, but what is the ". in print ''.join(rstring). Can't find this anywhere in the Python docs.

Thanks,
