[Tutor] Help Needed--IDLE Upgrading

[Snoopy :-))]

Hi Samus :-))
Thanks for your reply.  Actually I was able to figure it out by myself
and solve it last night. I just didn't have the chance to get back and
let the Group know until now.
What I did was: to go into GnoRpm and did a "Query" on Python and was
able to trace idle. Then I just followed the downloaded README by
copying the files into the old directory.
So what do you think?  Is there any hope for me in becoming a genius one
day?? :-))
Best regards
Charles
