Interesting point.  Now that IDLE is fully installed with Python
(subsequent to release 2.3) it would make sense to improve the
Python docs to point to it.

On Windows there is an icon in Start / Programs / Python, but 
in Unix-like environments you need to know that there is an
IDLE startup script, 'idle', in the same directory as the Python
binary.
