Thanks for the help. . .I created a directory named "mysite" then
opened a command prompt from the "mysite" directory. In the prompt I
put "django-admin.py startproject mysite". The output i get is
lengthy, but here it is. . .

Usage: django-admin.py subcommand [options] [args]

Options:
 -v VERBOSITY, --verbosity=VERBOSITY
                       Verbosity level; 0=minimal output, 1=normal
out
                       2=all output
 --settings=SETTINGS   The Python path to a settings module, e.g.
                       "myproject.settings.main". If this isn't
provid
                       DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE environment variable
wil
                       used.
 --pythonpath=PYTHONPATH
                       A directory to add to the Python path, e.g.
                       "/home/djangoprojects/myproject".
 --traceback           Print traceback on exception
 --version             show program's version number and exit
 -h, --help            show this help message and exit

Type 'django-admin.py help <subcommand>' for help on a specific
subcomm

Available subcommands:
 cleanup
 compilemessages
 createcachetable
 dbshell
 diffsettings
 dumpdata
 flush
 inspectdb
 loaddata
 makemessages
 reset
 runfcgi

 sqlflush
 sqlindexes

And that's it. Thanks again for the help. . .Cheers
