Ok, I CAN start the Python Interpreter from the command line by just
typing "python" then "enter".

I saved the file "args.py" in the Python Scripts folder. When I try to
run it from command prompt, I get the message "python: can't open
file 'args.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory".

The only way I CAN get it to open, is to change (cd into) into the
python scripts folder (where I saved args.py) then run it (type
"python args.py" in command prompt). So, obviously something is wrong.
