You can't launch an OSX application bundle from a shell that way. You could use /usr/bin/open but that should give the same results as double-clicking on the IDLE icon. I don't have personal experience with EPD distribution but there should be a command line binary of idle included. Try this from a Terminal shell: $ cd `python -c 'import sys; print sys.prefix'` $ bin/idle If you can change and save the preferences that way, they should then apply to IDLE no matter how you launch it. -- Ned Deily, n...@acm.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
