Dear Sirs.
I have a rather simple question about IDLE operation which is quite important 
for me.

If I run a script or a module as the main script using command Run Module (or 
F5) it looks like all the definitions of this script (variables, functions...) 
are available in the interactive interpreter which is active after the main 
script is executed. The problem is that I could not find any documentation 
where this is stated directly. Does anybody know clear confirmation that this 
is correct?

In other words the question is whether IDLE command Run Module (or F5) is 
equivalent to start of Python from command line using the following command: 
python  -i  filename.py?

This is important for me because I'm going to use many different starting 
definitions to work in the IDLE interactive interpreter.
