Below is the code in the Python interpretor from Rodger's class Sept 8.

Note: In order to be able to read the files poe.txt and fivewords.txt, 
I created a data folder in C: on my Windows machine and put the files in 
there. On a Windows machine, when using the Python Interpretor, 
Eclipse looks for the file in C:
Note if you were running a program that you created as a Python Module, then Eclipse would look in the same folder for a data file. 

Also below, I did not show all the text from poe.txt or the list of the words from poe.txt since both were a lot of output!

Here is the console and output:

utterance to a threat. At length I would be avenged;
