I didn't think I did this, as I wiped out all of /sw and started fresh. 
Not only did I see Visual on the help menu, but IDLE was also configured 
in VPython style to start in the editor rather than the shell, and 
auto-save was specified, neither of which are the defaults that come 
with Python. Nevertheless, if your copy of the configuration file didn't 
have these features, I must have somehow installed a different 
configuration file from somewhere.
