+# IDLE reads several config files to determine user preferences.  This 
+# file is the default config file for general idle settings.
+#  
+# When IDLE starts, it will look in
+# the following two sets of files, in order:
+#
+#     default configuration
+#     ---------------------
+#     config-main.def         the default general config file
+#     config-extensions.def   the default extension config file
+#     config-highlight.def    the default highlighting config file
+#     config-keys.def         the default keybinding config file
+#
+#     user configuration
+#     -------------------
+#     ~/.idlerc/idle-main.cfg            the user general config file
+#     ~/.idlerc/idle-extensions.cfg      the user extension config file
+#     ~/.idlerc/idle-highlight.cfg       the user highlighting config file
+#     ~/.idlerc/idle-keys.cfg            the user keybinding config file
+# XXX what about Windows?
+#
+# Any options the user saves through the config dialog will be saved to
+# the relevant user config file. Reverting any general setting to the 
+# default causes that entry to be wiped from the user file and re-read 
+# from the default file. User highlighting themes or keybinding sets are
+# retained unless specifically deleted within the config dialog. Choosing
+# one of the default themes or keysets just applies the relevant settings 
+# from the default file.
