There is an IDLE0.6 version you can download as standalone.
Basically unpack the new IDLE files into a new folder then 
swap names with the existing IDLE folder and it will work 
OK with 1.5.2

Anyone with my book will find the updated IDLE on the CD 
along with a more detailed text file describing how to 
install it....
