Hi Joe,

          > First off, it would be great if hitting Home took you to the

For user preferences "configHandler.py" would most likely be the place to 
start (according to one of the emails above). As for how to code for your 
own preferences your guess is as good as mine as the notebooks in the 
Lib\idlelib section (for a newbie at least) are not particularily clear 
about how to do this; lacking any coding examples about how one should code 
for the desired result. It would be helpful indeed if they could include 
within these notebooks, for newbies like us, one or preferibly two consise 
ways to use the "configHandler.py" not in pseudo code but in real Python 
code dumbed - down enough for the general user to understand. Examples such 
as these would only enhance Python's already user - friendly reputation as 
an easy to use and understand programming language.

Failing any result from the above, google's always there to help.
