+IDLE may open editor windows when it starts, depending on settings
+and how you start IDLE.  Thereafter, use the File menu.  There can be only
+one open editor window for a given file.

+The title bar contains the name of the file, the full path, and the version
+of Python and IDLE running the window.  The status bar contains the line
+number ('Ln') and column number ('Col').  Line numbers start with 1;
+column numbers with 0.

+IDLE assumes that files with a known .py* extension contain Python code
+and that other files do not.  Run Python code with the Run menu.
