Finally, success! Thanks to help from the Ulipad list. Python is built on wxPython. I upgraded wxPython to v2.8. Then found that even with 2.8 I was getting an error saying that I didn't have the comtypes module. After downloading and installing comtypes I now have Ulipad's shell running 2.6.2 and also Ulipad running scripts within Ulipad written in 2.6.2. See <http://www.rcblue.com/Misc/Ulipad4.png>, which shows the Ulipad's shell window on the left, executing correctly a bit of code using a new 2.6 feature, and also the "Messages" window showing the correct output of the script 26.py .
I call Ulipad with a Win XP shortcut, <http://www.rcblue.com/Misc/Ulipad_Shortcut2.png>. The contents of the "Target:" textbox is "E:\Python26\pythonw.exe E:\Programs\Ulipad3.7\Ulipad.pyw" (no quotes).
