Dear Python Friends:
in my python directory there is a python.exe file which I understand completely but there is also a pythonw.exe DOS seems to honor the pythonw
command (No error message) but nothing happens. What is pythonw.exe?
Also is there a way to invoke idle from the DOS prompt?  I tried idle filename.py  and  just idle. Is there any .exe for idle?

                                    Sincerely, 'Ron "bumpker" Reynolds'
