So what you're saying is run IDLE separately from my program (don't click on "Edit With IDLE") and doing something. I don't know what you mean- cutting and pasting the program into it? It can't be hitting F5 because that opens a new IDLE window. What DO you mean? Anyway, that seems harder than just running the program by clicking on its file (i.e. double click "program.py").

What you're asking, I think, is "isn't there an easy way to execute my program when I am editing the code within IDLE?" Yes, you just use F5. But the _manner in which you open the code in IDLE_ is what determines if a subprocess will be opened. Don't open your code by right-clicking the file and choosing "edit." open IDLE by a shortcut or directly from the directory in which it's installed. Then load your code from there. HTH, -Luke
