I have been using python in a unix environment for years and am a complete noob 
to iron python, windows, and .net as of yesterday  (GAAAACK! says the Linux Guy 
:-) so please be patient.

I was looking to use Idle with Ironpython but am not sure how to do this or if 
it can be done.  I saw a reference or two to Idle in the archives, but nothing 
concrete.  I've set the windows path to:

C:\Program Files\activeTcl\bin;C:\Program Files\MTS 793\ntbin;C:\Program 
Files\Common Files\MTS 
Shared;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;c:\IronPython-1.1;

I was reading a few IP articles and they mentioned setting the path, so I tried 
that and then importing System, but System isn't found.  I don't yet understand 
the relationship between CPython and IP, so maybe idle can't be used.  I want 
idle for the editing capabilities and so on that I'm used to using in the unix 
environment.

So can Idle be used and if not, what else has the formatting that idle does?  
One guy here using a regular text editor and runs a batch file, but I'm hoping 
for a little more interactive environment.  For licensing reasons, visual 
studio is a not an option for me at the moment but might be in the future. 

Again, I'm a complete Noob so forgive me if this question is too easy.   Thanks.

A.D.
