[Visualpython-users] New for Windows

[Bruce S. <bas...@un...>]

New VPython for Windows at http://vpython.org; Linux/Unix/Mac OSX coming 
soon.

Thanks to Hugh Fisher of Australia for submitting a patch to permit setting

	scene.fullscreen = 1

in which case the graphics window fills the entire screen. Because there 
is no close box in this case (at least on Windows), making it difficult 
to get out of the program, I added code so that pressing ESCAPE closes 
the window. It might be better if this were conditioned on fullscreen 
mode, but I didn't immediately see how to arrange this.

Fisher also provided a patch to fix up keyboard key names on Linux/Unix 
to be like those on Windows.

This is an important milestone in the development of VPython, as 
Fisher's submission of patch files represents the first addition to 
Visual by someone not at Carnegie Mellon or North Carolina State University.

Small bonus by popular request: color.orange is now available, 
equivalent to (1, 0.5, 0).

Documentation also updated.
