Thanks. The system came with Python and the development libraries but 
not with the latest installation and tools. Once I was able to install 
all the latest Python RPM for Fedora 3, 'idle' showed up. Now all I have 
to do is find everything else, including the latest documentation files. 
It is a pity the Python Linux binary installations do not create folders 
on the desktop or in the Gnome menu system with links to the Python to 
the documentation and a readme telling me what executables were installed.
