Untangling pythonWin and IDLE Processes on XP Pro

[W. eWatson]

It appears if one moves between IDLE and pythonWin (pyWin) that two separate 
loops (threads?) can occur, and that IDLE can produce incorrect results. 
Since I have preferred IDLE over pyWin, that leaves me currently in a 
quandry. How do I renew these processes, so that I can proceed with IDLE?

I noticed that I had about 10-15 copies of pythonw.exe as I tried to reach 
some understanding of what was going on. Killing these tasks didn't help 
restore order to IDLE. It seems my only choice now is to reboot? Comments?
