Subject: IDLE issue--beeping and IDLE hangs

If the window looks something like this:

>>>(cursor is here)
for x in range[w]:

and you hit return, IDLE will stop responding, but beep continually until the c
omputer is restarted. This is in Windows 2000. I'm not sure whether the cursor 
is before or after the invisible space after the ">>>"; the for statement is on
 the line AFTER the >>>. Don't know why the student used square braces either.
