[issue964437] idle help is modal

[Roger Serwy]

Roger Serwy <roger.serwy at gmail.com> added the comment:

Attached is a reworked patch to handle the nonmodal help dialog.

It replaces the decorator _singledialog with a call to a singleton HelpDialog class. The class creates the textView widget using as its parent the root Tk window instance instead of the EditorWindow's Toplevel.
Any EditorWindow instance calling "help_dialog" will cause the existing help dialog to be repositioned on top of it.
