has never worked and no one has complained. It is still possible to set a
default tabs (v. spaces) indent 'manually' via config-main.def (or to turn on
tabs for the current EditorWindow via the Format menu) but IDLE will encourage
indentation via spaces.
Enable setting the indentation width using the Options dialog.

Autoindent.py was merged into EditorWindow.py.
3. Make usetabs, indentwidth, tabwidth, context_use_ps1 instance vars
and set in EditorWindow.__init__()
4. In PyShell.__init__() set usetabs, indentwidth and context_use_ps1
explicitly (config() is eliminated).
5. Add Tabnanny check when Module is Run/F5, not just when Checked.
6. Discourage using an indent width other than 8 when using tabs to
indent Python code.

SF Patch 686254 "Run IDLEfork from any directory without set-up"
Allows IDLE to run when not installed and cwd is not the IDLE directory.
I took the liberty of moving it to the startup scripts since once IDLEfork
is again a part of Python it will be superfluous and I don't want it to
be forgotten. But it is very useful for those using IDLEfork standalone!

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

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
