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.
