Summary: No syntax hilite on new file until saved as *.py

Initial Comment:
python 2.3c1, on windows xp, uk english.

When typing or pasting into a new text window, no 
syntax highlighting appears until the file is saved with 
a .py name.

I know it doesn't make sense to python-syntax highlight 
a non-python file, but shouldn't it default to 
highlighting?  

IDLE never used to do this - I assume it's a quirk of 
IDLEfork (maybe intentional behaviour i suppose).
