IDLE window disappears - more info

[Rodney Loisel]

There is a _tkinter.pyd in the Python\dll\ but there is no Tk directory. Why

would there be no Tk directory if Python seems to depend on it so much?
All I can do with this program is 'run Python' or select it from the start
menu
and I get a generic dos shell with  a >>> prompt an no shell features.
Clicking
on any *.py icon just opens and quickly closes a window before I can read
what's in it. I downloaded the program thru the Python web site and
installed
it by their instructions. Looks like I've wasted 25.00 on my new "Teach
yourself Python" book...
