Tkinter exit problem in Win98

use pythonw.exe  yourTk.py
or python.exe -i yourTk.py
or ren someTk.py someTk.pyw which opens with pythonw

ive changed my double click open of py files to an editor
too avoid the problem. you can also add 
python.exe -i %1 %*  somewhere in the registry
to always open py file in the interactive mode.

if you python -i some.py from a dos window
when the program finishes your left with a prompt
>>>
if you ^Z  control+Z to exit python you also exit the
dos window. that seems too harsh.
the pdb debugger is much better, it accepts a q to quit.

is it still a problem in python2.3 with Tk8.4, anyone?
