I suspect it only says not to *run* it in IDLE. Writing it
in IDLE is fine. But sometimes running Tkinter apps in Idle causes 
strange behaviour.  So save the file then run it from
Windows Explorer, eg. by double clicking the file.

The Python shell is designed for testing and exploring not for writing 
apps. Use a text editor (Idle or something else). On windows I tended to 
use vim or Scite or occasionally Eclipse with PyDev plugin.

That's probably due to a coding error.
Write a short Tkinter program that exhibits the problem and post it 
here. We can then try to advise you.
