I recently downloaded Py2exe to make my python2.4 programs executable in motive of possible distribution. I looked online, and most of them tell me I need to use my ms-dos prompt, or command prompt. If these are two different things on my Windows 98 O.S., i cannot find command prompt. Also, my ms-dos shell executes full screen and crashes my computer upon exit.
I used to have it set to a smaller size, but somehow it was altered and I can't figure out how to fix it.
Is their a way around this for Py2exe use, or do I need the above stated programs to run it?

You can do the whole thing easily with the Python program given at:

You only need to adjust the last line of the code for your needs. Read the comments carefully!
