Many people use the interactive mode as a convenient yet highly programmable
-calculator. When you want to end your interactive Python session, hold the Ctrl
-key down while you enter a Z, then hit the "Enter" key to get back to your
+calculator. When you want to end your interactive Python session, hold the :kbd:`Ctrl`
+key down while you enter a :kbd:`Z`, then hit the ":kbd:`Enter`" key to get back to your
Windows command prompt.
You may also find that you have a Start-menu entry such as :menuselection:`Start
--> Programs --> Python 3.3 --> Python (command line)` that results in you
seeing the ``>>>`` prompt in a new window. If so, the window will disappear
