What's New in IDLE 2.7.9?

+ editor window with a filename. When Class Browser is requested otherwise,
+ from a shell, output window, or 'Untitled' editor, Idle no longer displays

+ is entered and a module is opened, a corresponding browser is also opened.

+ name you enter (even if your system does not display it). Some systems
+ automatically add .txt when type is Text files.
