Why can I not see the code correctly in Python IDLE.?

[jonesphedra]

# is the start of a line comment in Python. Everything following # in the line is a comment. Don't depend on syntax highlighting.

The error message told you where the error happened.

Error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:/ArcPy_Ex/test.py", line 5, in <module>
outfc = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1)
NameError: name 'arcpy' is not defined

Note the lack of a comment character in outfc = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1)

That right. To resolve this problem and see the code correctly in the Python IDLE editor, you need to ensure that the comments are properly formatted with a single '#' symbol at the beginning of each comment line.
