Subject: IDLE on a Mac

Hi.   First, I'd like to say how wonderful 3.0 is.  I'm using it at work, and it it indispensable.

I am, however, having a small difficulty at home on my Mac.   Not willing to wait for a nice, pre-packaged bundle, I went and downloaded the files and built 3.0 myself.  The issue comes from launching the IDLE.app from the Mac GUI versus a Terminal Shell.  From the GUI, IDLE launches fine, but the FILE dropdown menu only has "Recent Files" in it.  No way to create new one, save, etc.

The README pages say to write to you if we're not sure if something is a feature or a bug.... So, here I am.  :)

Thanks.
