 Not quite what I was trying to ask.
I'm well aware that Idle has features that the Python interpreter on
Windows doesn't.
Idle also has features that the unix variants doesn't.
I don't use my Ubuntu much so I'm somewhat ignorant, but I wasn't
aware that the interactive interpreter on Linux had features that the
Windows version didn't. I'm curious what those features might be.
