Right.  I rechecked and Terminal starts in /Users/<username> and a user can easily switch to Documents or anything else.  Dialogs open in the same directory.  IDLE should stay wherever when started from terminal. That was agreed on #22121  (Checking 'sys.stdout is None' should work.)

Will my suggested change work in idlemain.py?  Is there any issue with importing tkinter.messagebox there?

If the solution for #22121 is an all-systems patch (see msg364068), as I now expect, the chdir in idlemain could be deleted.
