There are two immediate issues.

2. Issues are blocked because of lack of room on the General pane.  The Windows Preferences frame is about as large as the Editor and Shell frame together.  Splitting that way will leave room for enough more options for quite a while.

1. The screen on my 2012 MacBook Air is 768 pixels tall.  There are other people with screens about this small, though I doubt much smaller.  With the dock on the bottom, the configdialog buttons are not accessible.  (The are if IDLE is made full screen.)

The Additional Help Source box takes up over 20% of the Notebook pane height.  With it removed and all panes shortened, the problem on my screen and other at least as tall will be fixed.

I am therefore adopting EP's idea of moving the Help menu extension to the Extensions tab.  I think it fits there better than on the Font page or either split of the General tab.

I am starting now to separate out a HelpSrc frame class in the code and a HelpSrcTest class in the test file.

EP, coordinated help on this other dialog issue is welcome.
