[Tutor] Query re: IDLE & Slackware 9.0

[Tireseas]

Todd and Rob

Thanks for confirming this for me. I wasn't sure whether it was just my system 
or not. I might well try Kate (altho' like Joe). I guess that I was just used 
to using Idle with other distros, and so it was familiar. I suppose I could 
always learn the Emacs way, which I know several folk here swear by. Sheesh - 
learn a program so I can learn a language to learn to program ... hmmm. Not 
very energy efficient for a brain that doesn't have too much juice at the 
best of times.

Thanks anyway.
