But there's an exception to that - if you right-click a file in Windoze 
and 'edit' it,
IDLE won't open up its subprocess, and as such, it can't restart the 
interpreter session because it's running in the same
process as IDLE, and to restart the interpreter would mean restarting IDLE.
Boy, that 'edit with idle' thing sure does cause some problems, don't it? :)
