The main point is that IDLE should run code pretty much the same way as 
the interpreter, taking into account that it has the extra feature of 
multiple interactive sessions, with or without a preceding batch run. In 
particular, it should not disable normal behavior, as it seems to do now.

The subsidiary point is that we have to know the details of 'normal' to 
imitate those details.

Once I, Roger, or any other interested developers agree on where and 
how, I think it should and will be.
