abnormal exit situations cleanly, especially stuck user threads. Future
plan is to intercept the user's atexit functions and run them under
IDLE's control.
The default font is not highlighted in the Options dialog when
IDLEfork is first installed.
2. Reduce default font to 10 pt and increase default window height to give
a better initial impression on Windows.

The default is to require the user to confirm the save.

- 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
