When you run code from an edit window, IDLE saves the file to disk and then 
*imports* it into the shell window.  If you *paste* code into the shell 
window (regardless of where from), then it acts like you typed it and you 
will get expression results echoed, as you expected.

I got caught be this at first too, since I have run many snippets by 
pasting.
