Well, variations of it have been reported to Alex, and to me (via the Tutor
list), and I experienced my own Windows Moment with it.  I failed to  act on
the warnings I got, but reflection on the Tutor list strongly suggests it's
going to be a major problem on Windows.  Newbies don't generally download
pre-release software (except by mistake), so I take the Tutor list report
from someone who did very seriously indeed.  Kurt's suggestion to add a
message at the top of the IDLE shell window seems adequate and very low
risk.
