Summary: Referencing additional documentation

Initial Comment:
Here is a small change to EditorWindow which means
that if VPython is installed, pressing F1 invokes
Doc\VPython.html, which gives you VPython
documentation, Numeric documentation, and the usual
Python documentation. If VPython.html is not
installed, Doc\index.html is invoked, which just gives
you Python documentation (VPython.html has a link to
index.html). VPython users need the additional
documentation. For info on the nature of VPython, see

http://cil.andrew.cmu.edu/projects/visual

My goal is that in the future all VPython
distributions include the idlefork version of idle,
rather than the older version originally due to Dave
Scherer, from which idlefork development started.

    if sys.platform[:3] == "win":
        fn0 = os.path.dirname(__file__)
        fn = os.path.join(fn0, os.pardir,
os.pardir, "Doc", "VPython.html")
        fn = os.path.normpath(fn)
        if os.path.isfile(fn):
            help_url = fn
        else:
            fn = os.path.join(fn0, os.pardir,
os.pardir, "Doc", "index.html")
            fn = os.path.normpath(fn)
            if os.path.isfile(fn):
                help_url = fn
        del fn0
        del fn

the vpython folks will implement a simpler scheme for
accessing their help from idle which doesn't involve source
changes
