[Tutor] How to use Python 2.6 with IDLE?

I've taken a long break from Python, and now I want to try scripting with 2.62. I downloaded and installed 2.62, changed Win XP environmental variables to use Python26. Entering python at the command line shows I'm using 2.62: C:\Documents and Settings\Riley>python Python 2.6.2 (r262:71605, Apr 14
