2. Add an indicator to the shell startup notice when running w/o
subprocess.
3. Improve exception reporting when running a command or script from the
command line.
4. Clarify the fact that breakpoints set or cleared after a file is
saved will revert to the saved state if the file is closed without
re-saving.
5. If user tries to exit or restart when user code is running, interrupt
the user code. This helps to eliminate occasional hanging
subprocesses on Windows (except for Freddy :).

is now interruptable on Windows.

Clean up the way IDLEfork handles termination of the subprocess, restore
ability to interrupt user code in Windows (so long as it's doing terminal
I/O).
1. Handle subprocess interrupts in Windows with an RPC message.
2. Run/F5 will restart the subprocess even if user code is running.
3. Restart the subprocess if the link is dropped.
4. Exit IDLE cleanly even during I/O.
4. In rpc.py, remove explicit calls to statelock, let the condition
variable handle acquire() and release().

- Change default: IDLE now starts with Python Shell.
- Removed the File Path from the Additional Help Sources scrolled list.
- Add capability to access Additional Help Sources on the web if the
Help File Path begins with //http or www. (Otherwise local path is
validated, as before.)
- Additional Help Sources were not being posted on the Help menu in the
order entered. Implement sorting the list by [HelpFiles] 'option'
number.
- Add Browse button to New Help Source dialog. Arrange to start in
Python/Doc if platform is Windows, otherwise start in current directory.
- Put the Additional Help Sources directly on the Help menu instead of in
an Extra Help cascade menu. Rearrange the Help menu so the Additional
Help Sources come last. Update help.txt appropriately.
- Fix Tk root pop-ups in configSectionNameDialog.py and configDialog.py
