Hi Mark, This works for me, after having saved the code as C:\hilo.py : I create a shortcut to hilo.py on the desktop, then enter the shortcut's properties and enter this in the 'target' field: C:\Python25\python.exe C:\Python25\Lib\idlelib\idle.py -r C:\hilo.py (copy/paste and run this in the command line first to make sure that it works right) You could alternatively change the 'start in' field to "C:\Python25\Lib\idlelib" (without the quotes), and the just have "idle.bat -r C:\hilo.py" in the 'target' field. Note that when doing this, the IDLE shell will not close once the code is finished; it will become interactive and require the user the close it manually.
