	IDLE itself is just a Python SCRIPT itself -- it needs python.exe
(or pythonw.exe to avoid a console window) to run. You need python to
run IDLE to access your own script (for editing). If clicking on your
own script doesn't run, then neither will IDLE.

	If double-clicking on your own .py/.pyw file won't run, then nothing
invoking another .py/.pyw is likely to run either.

	I do have to confess that after a registry corruption which killed
my original user account, not all my software is fully functional... I
just had to define pythonw.exe to be the application for .pyw files.
