IDLE 2.6
 >>> i = 1
 >>> j = 11
 >>> if  j > 1:
	print j
	else:
		
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
 >>>

I am getting a little dizzy here.

I know about text editor, code, save, F5.

Many tutorials say that it is funner and faster to test an idea 
'interactively', using IDLE.  Nothing is said about fiddling the output.

In the above bit the 'else' is in the wrong place because IDLE or PYTHON 
terminated the script.

I hate to be a bore here, but if the mechanics of the program are not as 
they are said to be in the tutorials, how am I to proceed?
