IDLE window disappears on startup

[Rodney Loisel]

New to Python but not script programming. W98  Python 1.5.2b
First tried clicking on the idle.pw and idle.pwc icons and a window
pops up and immediately disappears. Then tried:
start->run-> python idle.py and idle.pyw and the same thing
happened. Appreciate any suggestions. Also if there are any
Amiga users of python out there. I also can't get IDLE going
on that platform either but at least I have  the shell.
