[issue4042] IDLE won't start in 2.6 final. A known fix was overlooked?

Problem Solved. It was my firewall.

When I ran IDLE from the command line (the RIGHT way this time), in
addition to the error messages and popup windows that I got before, I
also got a popup window from my firewall asking if I was willing to
grant Python access permission. I granted permission and, when I tried
starting IDLE again, everything worked just fine.

Thank you, Amaury and Martin, for your help and your patience with me.
