Summary: File/SaveAs Raises Tkinter Callback Error 

Initial Comment:
I installed Python 2.3a1. I start IDLE by 'python idle.py' and the shell 
window is open in the background. When I want to save an idle session I do 
not get a file. In the shell window I get this error message:
-------------------------------------------------------
Exception in Tkinter callback

You appear to be using IDLEfork installed from the tarfile.

I can't reproduce this problem on Linux using Python2.2.2,
Python2.3a0(14Dec), or Python2.3a2.

What version of Tcl/Tk do you have?

I did find a different problem where IDLEfork was trying to
save the breaks from the shell (there are none), so I fixed that.
