IDLE silently closing is due to issue13582.

On Linux (Ubuntu 11.04, Tk8.5) I can not specify "~template.py" for a filename for opening or saving a file. Clicking on either open or save produces no action. However, I can specify "~/template.py".

On Win7 I see there error Terry describes. This is due to "Tilde Substitution" described here: http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl/TclCmd/filename.htm#M20

Attached is a patch against 3.3 that escapes the initial tilde on Windows. The patch should be identical against 3.2 and 2.7.
