 # Setting up an editor for programming
 
 An editor is a program that lets us write longer programs than we can
-write on the `>>>` prompt. Then we can save the programs to files and

 run them as many times as we want without writing them again.

 Word or LibreOffice/OpenOffice Writer. These programs are for writing
 text documents, not for programming. **Programming editors don't support
 things like bigger font sizes for titles or underlining bits of text**,
 but instead they have features that are actually useful for programming,
-like automatically displaying different things with different colors.

 If you are on Windows or Mac OSX you have probably noticed that your
 Python came with an editor called IDLE. We are not going to use it

 We'll learn to use most of them later in this tutorial. Trying to use a
