Starting programs by typing their names into the interactive interpreter 
does not work.

Use Start Menu | All Apps | Python 3.5 | IDLE (...).  You can make this 
a Start Menu 'favorite' or create a Desktop icon.  Typing 'idle' in the 
Command Prompt console may also work.  Typing 'python -m idlelib' should 
work.  After I start IDLE once I pin it to the taskbar since I use it 
constantly.
