Try my tutor. It illustrates concepts using QBASIC and Python 
so you can compare what you know with Python(QBASIC being 
similar to VB in syntax)

It has a topivc on file handling

Assuming you are in a DOS window you can write ANSI.SYS 
control strings - read the ANSI.SYS info in the help pages 
- might be part of the Res Kit help in recent Win9x....

If you mean IDLE I think you have to do it the hard way 
and edit the .py file code - probably safer to leave it 
alone for now!
