On Python 3.0 IDLE shows the output of help() on the system shell that
started IDLE and not inside the IDLE window.

Yes, and it does on linux, also.  Someone changed the way help() 
works.  Since the help listing is often extensive and clutters up the 
shell, I'm thinking that the best solution would be to pop up a new 
window.  I haven't got around to addressing either the bug or a new 
design.

Fixed by overriding pydoc.py:pager to be plainpager.
