My guess is that some months ago I looked at .idlerc on another "mission" to figure what ails my python install, and just more or less backed up the recent-files.lst. However, the important point here is, I think, how to change the permissions for the .idlerc folder. They vary by how I might

If you read on past a few paragraphs, there is some reason for hope that 2.7.2 is close to running. But first, the dll story. As it turns out in the other part of this thread, the "Python25.dll" was a typo on my part. It's really Python26.dll. Upon re-booting to make sure of that I read the
