Summary: Erroneous message from IDLE's parser

Initial Comment:
I'm a Python beginner (wrote C programs before I needed GUIs) running 2.2.2 on Windows 98SE from the 
standard download from www.python.org.

I first put a frame ObRef  'f'   into a .grid() line instead of into the Label() line above it.  When I "fixed" it, I 
put the  'f' in the Label() but forgot to remove it from .grid().

IDLE's error message identified the erroneous line but reported that  '-bd'  was not allowed.  If it had 
identified  '-f'  as the culprit that would have saved me a lot of scrambling.

A screen-shot of the code and the error message are attached (MS Word .doc format).  The offending 
line 
is the seventh line in the code screen-shot.

Thanks.


Sorry if this is a duplicate.  I have searched the python.org FAQ and the Source Forge error list without 
recognizing this problem in any of their titles.

When I tried to send the .doc file, it showed "no data", and I assumed the earlier 'SUBMIT" had been 
cancelled..Not so.  When I converted the .doc file to .htm, it said I had already submitted the item, so I 
assume the second version was refused.  I have changed the title to confuse your system and get the 
message through, and I apologize for the inadvertent spamming.

Roy, the problem with uploading files is a bug in
SourceForge.  I am closing this report since it's a
duplicate.  You should be able to upload an attachment to
the original bug report.  Remember to click the button
'Check to Upload and Attach a File:' and add the file.  If
possible, can you use a format other than ms word?  Any
image format should be fine.

Also, there is a newer version of idle (see
http://idlefork.sf.net).  This may fix the problem and has
many improvements.
