How unfortunate. My windows 98 machine crashes in a horrible way, when 
directory or file names start with a dot. I think that I even submitted 
a bug report for idle 0.9.2a. Any directory or file name is OK, as long 
as it does _not_ contain a .(dot).

I will file a bug report (I thought that I did, but I don't see it at 
Sourceforge).

regards Gerrit
