Some more TODO items. Made up my mind about command line args,

Run/Import, __main__.

+- don't open second class browser on same module (nor second path browser)
+- unify class and path browsers
+- use a tree widget instead of a smalltalk/NeXT style multicolumn browser
+- Make command line behave more like the standard Python interpreter:
+    idle.py -- starts interactive shell
+    idle.py script.py arg ... -- runs script as main
+    idle.py -i script.py arg ... -- runs script as main, then interactive shell
+    idle.py -e file ... -- edit files
+    idle.py -i -e file ... -- edit files and pop up interactive shell
+    idle.py -c cmd arg ... -- run command
+    idle.py -i -c cmd arg ... -- run command, then interactive shell
+- In addition:
+    idle.py -t title -- specify alternate title for shell window    
+- And perhaps:
+    if $PYTHONSTARTUP is defined, use it (perhaps make it another option?)
+- Need to define a standard way whereby one can determine one is running
+  inside IDLE (needed for Tk mainloop, also handy for $PYTHONSTARTUP)
+- Add utility methods for use by extensions (e.g. to get selection)
