Perhaps we should make the current option ternary.
"When running code from an editor window, prompt to save
[] any unsaved [] 'Untitled' only [] never"
'Untitled only' appears to be what the current 'no prompt' actually
means. 'Never' would be the new option, as it would actually mean
'never'. (I would use this for short throwaway code ;-). Untitled
files would be saved somewhere (to be decided). The saved file could
be listed in Recent files so it can be retrieved in the next
session. (After a crash or freeze, for instance.) 'New window' would
still bring up a blank window. Running a new window would over-write
any saved Untitled window.

The last important piece of the 'puzzle' was to decide on the location
of the scratch file. I initially thought of idlelib/, but that did not
seem right. It might not even be writeable. (I believe Lib/* can be a
zip file, for instance.) The user .idlerc/ directory should work fine.
