    Components of the IDLE Shell Window
                     The IDLE shell window has two main components: the Menu Bar and the Prompt.

                         Menu Bar: Located at the top of the window, it offers options for file management, running
                        scripts and customising IDLE, including File, Edit, Shell, Debug, Options, Window and Help.
                         Prompt: This is the area to type Python code, marked by >>>, where results appear immediately
                        after each command.

                     SCRIPT MODE
                     Script Mode is used for writing longer Python programs that can be saved to your computer and
                     run later. IDLE provides a built-in text editor where you can write, edit and save Python scripts.

                     Creating a New File

                     In Python IDLE, creating a new file allows you to write and save your Python programs. To create
                     a new file, follow the given steps:

                                       1    Click on the File menu.

                                  2    Click on the New File option.

                     A new window will open where you can start writing your Python code and save it for execution.
                                                                                      SHORT SIGN

                                                                                     To create a new file:
                                                                                          Ctrl + N

                     Writing and Saving a Program
                     Once you’ve created a new file, you can begin writing your Python program.

                                                                                                                      131
