The IDLE-dev mail list

Simplest specification:
one list for all 3 search boxes;
start fresh each session

If search boxes were non-modal, it might work to have two open for same 
editor (not sure).

Argh!  I sometimes find a bug fixing a bug, but more often think of 
multiple possible improvement when implementing one.
