Pygame demo program chimp.py working now!

After reading the os.path thing, I now know how to do pathnames in Windows7 IDLE.

  fullname = os.path.join('h:\\fonggame', name)

I also needed to download the bmp and wav files before I could run the chimp.py file.

So it took me about 4 hours to learn how to run this demo file!

There is still a slight problem.  The whiff sound does not seem to work.  But this is not that important.  What is the most important to me is how to do the keyboard event thing.
