[Tutor] A few Python Mysteries [Reset]

[Wayne Watson]

Hi, I found it, but not in a place I would expect. It's under my 
username, Wayne. It is a folder and has three files:
breakpoints.lst
recent-files.lst
ZZrecent-files.lst

The last one has the odd ZZ, but is empty. breakpoints.lst is empty too.

recent-files.lst contains about 21 files like:
C:\Users\Wayne\Sandia_Meteors\Trajectory_Estimation\radiant.py
C:\Users\Wayne\Sandia_Meteors\Trajectory_Estimation\cross_prod.py

ZZ... is the most recent file, 7/18/2011.

If I right-click .idlerc, I can see properties for SYSTEM, some very 
oddly named user, Wayne, Admin, and WMPNetwork.
