Gabriel,
After reinstalling the whole package things are shaping up. It still
doesn't work but it fails more to the point of your suggestions. I
update the responses to your questions:

Gabriel,
Thanks for your hints. I take them up one by one:

I upgraded from 2.4 to 2.5 and am unable to start an 2.5 idle
window. The OS is Windows ME. The download of 2.5 finished with a
warning saying that 2.5 was the highest version for Windows 9* Any
tips?
I'd suggest a couple more tests.
Open the Python interpreter and execute:
py> from idlelib import idle
This *should* launch IDLE, or raise an error...
>>> import idle
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "C:/PYTHON25/lib/IDLELIB\idle.py", line 19, in <module>
PyShell.main()
File "C:\Python25\Lib\idlelib\PyShell.py", line 1390, in main
root = Tk(className="Idle")
File "C:\PYTHON25\lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py", line 1647, in __init__
self.tk = _tkinter.create(screenName, baseName, className,
interactive, want
objects, useTk, sync, use)
_tkinter.TclError: Can't find a usable init.tcl in the following
directories:
C:/PYTHON25/lib/tcl8.4 C:/lib/tcl8.4 C:/library
Checking for the whereabouts of the tcl8.4 directory I find it in
C:/PYTHON25/TCL together with a few more plus some files.
C:\PYTHON25\TCL>dir
Volume in drive C is PKBACK# 001

This is the way the installer fixed it. The thing to do seems to be to
move the tcl8.4 dirctory to the lib directory. Before I start upsetting
things, perhaps you would know whether the whole TCL subtree should move.
