Save Idle Options

I’m new to Python and installed Python with Idle, which I like as an IDE. But I’m mystified as to how to make interface options stick. Opened Options, Configure Idle. Changed font to Consolas Bold. And stopped dead. There doesn’t seem to be a way to save the changes. Tried reloading my file but had to exit the Options to do so. So lost the changes. Same issue with  highlighting colors. Google is hopeless. How can I do this?
