[Tutor] IDLE Usage - was Interpreter Restarts

[Sara Johnson]

I initially thought Vim was sort of the same as Vi, just a few small differences or upgrades.  Or have I got that confused?

Yeah. But she's running Windows.
Perhaps vim is scary to some Windows users.
(I thought it was scary and annoying. Are all those ~ characters really in 
the file or not?
I kept second guessing the editor.)

--Sara, could you give an example of how it doesn't work?
  Just what happens? Just what doesn't happen?

You say you have Python 2.3 installed...
