If you hit Apple-N to open a 'New' window, or select the equivalent command from the menu, it will open a new window for entering a script; from there you can perform various actions (save, run, debug, etc.) If you click on 'Python' to the left of 'File' and select 'Preferences' and then pick the 'General' tab you can opt to have IDLE open up with an editor window instead of an interpreter window the next time you start.
