Summary: No syntax hilite on new file until saved as *.py

Initial Comment:
python 2.3c1, on windows xp, uk english.

When typing or pasting into a new text window, no 
syntax highlighting appears until the file is saved with 
a .py name.

I know it doesn't make sense to python-syntax highlight 
a non-python file, but shouldn't it default to 
highlighting?  

IDLE never used to do this - I assume it's a quirk of 
IDLEfork (maybe intentional behaviour i suppose).

The following from GvR on IDLEfork Bug 763524 30Jun03:

"I've been using the latest version from Python CVS on
Win9: quite intensively over the last week. Some
observations:

- When reusing a blank untitled window to edit a Text
file, it keeps using Python coloring.

- When saving a Python with a non-Python extension
(e.g. .txt), it keeps the coloring.

- When switching off coloring by saving an untitle
buffer as a non-Python extension (e.g. .txt), it keeps
existing coloring.

- When opening a file reuses a blank untitled window,
it doesn't set the focus on the window."
