Summary: IDLE needs printing

Initial Comment:
IDLE really needs a way to print.

It turns out that on Windows, you can print a text file
by invoking notepad /p filename. We can do that using
os.popen() (rather than os.system(), which opens an
ugly DOS box).

On Unix, we can invoke lpr filename in the same way.

So we can make this a standard menu item that takes the
command line to use from the configuration file.  I'll
implement this when I have time (or someone else can
implement it).
