===Test the Twitter code===
 
Start a command prompt and navigate to the Desktop\Twitter directory where the Twitter code lives. For example, if the Twitter project is at <code>C:\Users\jesstess\Desktop\python\Twitter</code> (or <code>C:\Documents and Settings\jesstess\Desktop\python\Twitter</code> for Win XP or earlier),
 
for Win Vista or Win 7

</pre>
 
or for Win XP users or earlier:
 
<pre>
cd C:\UsersDocuments and Settings\jesstess\Desktop\python\Twitter
</pre>
