Hi Joe,

For user preferences "configHandler.py" would most likely be the place to start (according to one of the emails above). As for how to code for your own preferences your guess is as good as mine as the notebooks in the Lib\idlelib section (for a newbie at least) are not particularily clear about how to do this; lacking any coding examples about how one should code for the desired result. It would be helpful indeed if they could include within these notebooks, for newbies like us, one or preferibly two consise ways to use the "configHandler.py" not in pseudo code but in real Python code dumbed - down enough for the general user to understand. Examples such as these would only enhance Python's already user - friendly reputation as an easy to use and understand programming language.

Failing any result from the above, google's always there to help.

Mark
