1967 230s idle problem

getting tired of shifting into "drive" and giving gas at the same time so the motor dont stall....the idle seems to drop to much when in gear compared to idling in park...there must be some kind of compensation for this but i only have a " haynes " manual and as we know they arent even good for starting a campfire.!..
the car only has 100k mi on it and i am the second owner so the car hasnt been messed with to much..so if somebody could explain what is and how what is supposed to happen when shifting into gear to keep idle up i could work on it..thank you ..
PS: changed the starter last week and was ready to cut a hole in the floor board to get at the top starter bolt,,when i pulled back the carpet i found MB had already done that.." haynes" didnt say anything about it,,,left me frustrated for hours...
