I can't figure out how to get IDLE to wrap text pasted in from, say, a
newspaper article. Usually, a each paragraph will appear as one long
unwrapped line, with no way to read the whole line, because no
horizontal bar is created. I haven't found anything about this in
either the options or the help.

I hate to ask, but why are you doing this?  IDLE isn't a general-purpose
editor, it's a programming editor specifically for Python, and as such it's
entirely appropriate for it to discourage overly long lines.

Take a look at <http://tutoree7.pastebin.com/EmyQTaYt>

I see.  I'd recommend the approach of sticking your source data in a
separate text file (using a text editor rather than IDLE) in any case;
it's much less of a pain to change what you are working on that way.
