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
runserver
shell
sql
sqlall
sqlclear
sqlcustom
sqlflush
sqlindexes
sqlinitialdata
sqlreset
sqlsequencereset
startapp
startproject
syncdb
test
testserver
validate

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