Summary: Bottom Scroll Bar

Initial Comment:
IDLE comes without a horizontal (bottom) scroll bar. In 
general this is preferable, but there are times when it's a 
nuisance.

It would be nice to have an option (easily accessible) to 
switch this on.

IDLE is intended to present a simple interface to
beginners and to encourage good style.  I believe that
GvR made a deliberate decision not to have a horiz
scroll bar to discourage lines longer that 80 char.

If you want to code a patch,  I'd accept it.  However,
the config switch should be in config-main.def only, and
the selection should not appear on the Options dialog.

That way an experienced user could set it in
.idlerc/config-main.cfg
