[Tutor] No more need to ask if Tkinter.mainloop() is running?

Thanks, Danny for your explanations!

It has been fixed! I just installed it and tried it out. Looks a little 
bit like VPython's IDLE. I still
have to get accustomed to it. Nevertheless, seems to be a jewel! Even 
the -Qnew switch works!
And what I recognized for the first time (and what also works with 
ordinary IDLE 0.8 as I
know now): You can kill

while 1:
      pass

with Ctrl-C

Have to find out if there is another switch, causing it to start with an 
open shell - window.

One important point - and for me it's the only one - remains unsolved  - 
supposedly due to restrictions
of Tkinter : there is no possibility to print out program listings on a 
printer.

Last resort here on my machine for this purpose : Python Win. So I'll 
have to continue using both of them,

Thanks again!
Gregor
