Hi, is this the right place for this question?:

I installed Python 2.3a1. I start IDLE by 'python idle.py' and the shell=20
window is open in the background. When I want to save an idle session I d=
o=20
not get a file. In the shell window I get this error message:
-------------------------------------------------------
