When presenting a piece of code that has a problem or error, it helps to give an explanation of what went wrong, or a copy of the error message thrown up by the program.

That said, the problem with your program seems fairly obvious. If you want Python to ignore a line of code, use the "#" character. Otherwise, Python will treat that line as code:

(Toggle Plain Text)

# Name: Whats Your Name

# Comment: just learning python thats all

raw_input("Press Enter Key ...")
my_string = raw_input("What is your name? ")
print "your name is", my_string
raw_input("Press Enter Key ...")

You might want to read through a Python tutorial before you go much further. There are quite a few Python tutorials around that will give you a good start on how to learn the language. This one seems to do a good job of teaching a non-programmer the basics.
