Hi Andrew, you don't connect to the internet via a proxy do you? I've  
just been playing with esearch() in IDLE vs the commandline in vista  
and found that both worked fine with a direct connection but when the  
system-wide internet options are set to a proxy IDLE hangs at the  
point at which the commandline asks for a username/password.

As I say, otherwise everything works fine for me so if it's not that  
then I'm no help.

Cheers,
David
