I am just getting started programing in python and am having
a problem with the IDLE interface. When I type in an entry and
hit the TAB key to enter a remark, I get a drop down menu of
some kind, I don't know what this is for,

Neither do I from your description.

Can you tell us:

1) Which IDLE window are you using? The text editor or the
interactive prompt(>>>) aka Python Shell?

2) Can you cut n paste an example of where the "problem" occurs?
ie let us see *exactly* what you have typed.

3) Can you confirm that this happens when you type the TAB key?
I get various helpful things popping up in IDLE but none of them
use the TAB key.

I haven't gotten that far. All I want to do is TAB out to enter a comment.
How do I turn this feature off or work around it. I am using IDLE 3.1.2?

I can use TAB to enter comments without any issues so we need
more detailed information.
