(a) "except E, V" -> "except E as V"
(b) V is now limited to a simple name (local variable)
(c) V is now deleted at the end of the except block

Rev 1.3 doerwalter
(string methods)

unsuccessful search wraps around and re-searches that part of the file
between the start of the search and the end of the file - only really
an issue for very large files, but... (also removes a redundant
m.span() call).

Much has changed -- too much, in fact, to write down.
The big news is that there's a standard way to write IDLE extensions;
see extend.txt.  Some sample extensions have been provided, and
some existing code has been converted to extensions.  Probably the
biggest new user feature is a new search dialog with more options,
search and replace, and even search in files (grep).

This is exactly as downloaded from my laptop after returning
from the holidays -- it hasn't even been tested on Unix yet.
