[Tutor] TKinter and IDLE problem

[Dick Moores]

I've been learning Python with v2.2.2 for Windows (on Win98). I've started 
to try out Tkinter with the Tkinter Intro at
http://www.pythonware.com/library/tkinter/introduction/index.htm

When I run hello1.py
(http://www.pythonware.com/library/tkinter/introduction/hello-tkinter.htm )

using IDLE, it starts fine, showing the GUI with the "Hello, World!" label. 
However, IDLE then becomes unusable, even after closing both the GUI 
and  hello1.py (no more ">>>" appear when hitting Enter).

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

========================
# File: hello1.py

from Tkinter import *

root = Tk()

w = Label(root, text="Hello, world!")
w.pack()

root.mainloop()
