I don't <wink>.  I'm on Win98SE here, and a longstanding bug, presumably in
Tcl/Tk, causes system instability if you try to run IDLE via the .py file.

If I were to try, I'd get the 2.2.2 IDLE, but because when I installed 2.3a1
I used the "advanced" button in the installer and told it *not* to associate
file extensions.  My .py and .pyw extensions are still associated with my
2.2 installation.

OK, I installed 2.3a1 again, without any special options.  Clicking idle.py
brought up 2.3a1 then.
