Thanks, Thorsten. I assume you mean type in "idle rebaseall" (?) - seems to bring up a window for a split second, then come back with same error messages I had before. I cannot find in the IDLE doc any reference on how to get it going under cygwin; could you please point me towards a less-than-terse set of instructions?
