[Tutor] Install failure

[Kirby Urner]

The Windows installer should have created an icon link to IDLE
which is the graphical shell available out of the box.  This is
a great environment in which to first familiarize yourself with
Python programming, as the DOS shell is unsuitable as a
shell environment, and you certainly don't want to get stuck
with Notepad for editing your code (IDLE's text editor is color
coded -- gvim for Windows is another option, with syntax
files for way more languages than Python).

Pythonw.exe by itself is not a shell, but a way of invoking
other scripts without opening a console window (as was
noted above).
