Doh.

I had put in the s = '' to see if I could force IDLE to say something more, 
and perhaps if I had put in "" I would have done better.

Apologies to anyone who imagined I expected them to read 500 lines of my 
novice Python.

Interesting that some colourers work better than others.  It must be quite a 
challenge.

IDLE did not offer a full traceback just a pop-up.  If it had, I would 
either have soved the problem or posted it.  I'm not afraid of long (boring) 
posts.

Many thanks for the help.  Must get a bigger screen and new eyes.
