Summary: Wrong starting folder for save of new file

Initial Comment:
I start idlefork in some folder A, then create a new
edit window, edit, and save into a different folder B.
In the menu bar for this new file I choose New Window,
edit, then save. I expect the file save dialog box to
be in B, but it is in A, which is awkward. One of the
additional places where folder context makes sense is
that saving a new file should go to the folder I was in
when I made the new window.

I disagree that this should wait for Python 2.4.

Below's a patch. It may not be perfect, but it works for me.

Yes, I'd like to see this fixed, also.

This is the issue that GvR commented on in
Idledev.  My response was that a fix involved
several modules (in an area that was buggy
and needed re-factoring) and was too risky to
do in the Python 2.3 release.  Python 2.4.
