Summary: History key bindings?

Initial Comment:
Alt-p and Alt-n used to be bound to history commands in
the Shell window. The don't work any more. I want them
back! (Or something equivalent -- I can learn something
else.)

This is on Unix using the classic Windows bindings; the
key config dialog claims that the above key bindings
are in effect, but they don't work.  What's up?

Alas, it still fails for me on my work box, but only when
using the "IDLE Classic Windows" bindings -- it works with
the "IDLE Classic Unix" bindings. 

This box has Tcl/Tk 8.4; my home box has Tcl/Tk 8.3. Both
are Linux boxes (the home box has Red Hat 7.3, the work box
has Mandrake 8.1, which is actually older.)

Hm. And now it works for me too...  But this is at home. I
think I reported this from work, so I'll keep this open to
see if I can still confirm it there. Maybe I'm using a
different Tcl/Tk version there.

I'm retracting the confirmation!  I was mislead by the history
feature ignoring entries < 3 char in length.  (I was entering
shorter strings for test)

I find I can't reproduce this on W2K or Linux, even with a 
fresh install and deleting my .idlerc.

It must be in the bindings; when I select Unix bindings it
works.

Confirm, also on W2K,
My alt keys are not working (!! :) so I didn't notice.
No idea, will check it out.  Its the event handlers
which appear to be broken, reassigning doesn't
help.
