If there are arguments:

- ``sys.argv`` reflects the arguments passed to IDLE itself.
+* If ``-``, ``-c``, or ``r`` is used, all arguments are placed in
+ ``sys.argv[1:...]`` and ``sys.argv[0]`` is set to ``''``, ``'-c'``,
+ or ``'-r'``. No editor window is opened, even if that is the default
+ set in the Options dialog.
-#. Otherwise, if ``-c`` is used, all arguments are placed in
- ``sys.argv[1:...]``, with ``sys.argv[0]`` set to ``'-c'``.
+* Otherwise, arguments are files opened for editing and
+ ``sys.argv`` reflects the arguments passed to IDLE itself.
-#. Otherwise, if neither ``-e`` nor ``-c`` is used, the first
- argument is a script which is executed with the remaining arguments in
- ``sys.argv[1:...]`` and ``sys.argv[0]`` set to the script name. If the
- script name is '-', no script is executed but an interactive Python session
- is started; the arguments are still available in ``sys.argv``.
