New user questions ... be gentle

[Steve Marx]

In the Windows world it's typically done by "associating" the .tcl extension
to a specific application (your Python interpreter).  This is similar to the
way that HTML files and text files can be double-clicked and load in the
right application.  Most installations should make this assocation for
you... don't recall how to do it by hand, but it's not hard.
