1) Right click on attachment as "Save As".  Make sure you remember which
directory you saved it in.  You might want to create a folder 
for your python stuff.

2) From the Start Menu, find "Command Prompt".  This can be hard to find
since they keep moving it around, so instead you can select "Run Program"
and enter "CMD" as the program.

3) At the Command prompt, enter "CD \PATH\TO\MY\PYTHON\FOLDER" where
you saved the attachment.

4) At the CMD prompt, you can use "TYPE bin2.py" to display the file,
or "NOTEPAD bin2.py" to edit with NOTEPAD.

5) At the CMD prompt, type "python bin2.py" to run.  Or first edit
a data file with NOTEPAD/VIM/whatever ("NOTEPAD data.txt") and
run with "python bin2.py <data.txt".
