Summary: in IDLE, assume new text files are python source by default

Initial Comment:
This changes IDLE so that when you use File->New
Window, it assumes that the file will be python source
by default, so syntax highlighting will be enabled. 
Currently, when you make a new window, it assumes that
it is not python source by default, so you do not get
syntax highlighting until you save the file with
extension .py.

I believe this was the original intent of the code,
based on the test for a missing filename, but it got
broken at some point when the code was modified to
accept a path instead of a missing filename.
