Summary: Referencing additional documentation

Initial Comment:
Here is a small change to EditorWindow which means 
that if VPython is installed, pressing F1 invokes 
Doc\VPython.html, which gives you VPython 
documentation, Numeric documentation, and the usual 
Python documentation. If VPython.html is not 
installed, Doc\index.html is invoked, which just gives 
you Python documentation (VPython.html has a link to 
index.html). VPython users need the additional 
documentation. For info on the nature of VPython, see

http://cil.andrew.cmu.edu/projects/visual

My goal is that in the future all VPython 
distributions include the idlefork version of idle, 
rather than the older version originally due to Dave 
Scherer, from which idlefork development started.

    if sys.platform[:3] == "win":
        fn0 = os.path.dirname(__file__)
        fn = os.path.join(fn0, os.pardir, 
os.pardir, "Doc", "VPython.html")
        fn = os.path.normpath(fn)
        if os.path.isfile(fn):
            help_url = fn
        else:
            fn = os.path.join(fn0, os.pardir, 
os.pardir, "Doc", "index.html")
            fn = os.path.normpath(fn)
            if os.path.isfile(fn):
                help_url = fn
        del fn0
        del fn

the vpython folks will implement a simpler scheme for
accessing their help from idle which doesn't involve source
changes
