    Run EditPythonPrefs and select Optimize Bytecode.  IDE's Save as 
Applet and running BuildApplet are unaffected, but using compile() 
(from py_compile) results in the smaller .pyo file, yet still 
containing docstrings and multiline comments.  Yet I'm sure I read 
somewhere that this option's main function is to remove docstrings. 
I just assumed that comments would also be removed!!!  But neither 
are.

    yes.  I also just discovered that every Mac applet I create (eg 
from the IDE) has a data fork of 772 bytes!  Seems all the "data" is 
in the resource fork.  How strange.
