Doc/howto/idle.rst:4: In this guide, we take a look at the basic
features of `IDLE`
I would replace the word "guide" with FAQ throughout the document
because you are adding a new FAQ after all right?

Doc/howto/idle.rst:6: are suitable for a new Python programmer. The
scope of this document
which is suitable for a beginner Python programmer.

Doc/howto/idle.rst:8: write programs using the editor and running it.
The scope of this document is intentionally limited to demonstrate the
use of the IDLE editor to create Python programs then run those programs
in the IDLE shell.

I wonder if you should add a section for Mac? The Mac is a little
tricky because every version of OS X has Python built in, but I don't
use that version because I am always running the latest and greatest to
help contribute. The question is does the Python community support the
Apple version of Python or recommend that a official Python version be
installed? I am not sure. Here is more information to start your
research http://www.python.org/getit/mac/http://bugs.python.org/review/17583/diff/7736/Doc/howto/idle.rst#newcode43
Doc/howto/idle.rst:43: You can go back to previous commands using the
``UP`` arrow key and
At the moment the UP and DOWN arrow keys do not function the way you
describe. Although we are talking about changing this behavior and I
hope we do soon :-). Basically the up history is alt-p and the down
history is alt-n currently. The arrow keys will move a user around then
they can select a previous line and press enter and that line will be
copied to the >>> prompt for execution or editing. I am doing a
horrible job explaining it but that is the default behavior at the
moment.

Doc/howto/idle.rst:116: accordingly.
I would add a few sentences about hi-lighting code sections then using
Indent Region (ctrl-]) and Dedent region (ctrl-[). Also the comment
code section is handy for testing and debugging. As Ezio explained you
have the room so go for it!
