Here is one general and one specific question about creating GUIs using tki=
nter from a newbie.  I have created a class in which to hold some data.  I =
want to create a GUI to get the data from the user and store it in the obje=
ct.  Browsing the web I see that a lot of examples on GUIs have the forms p=
ut into classes.  I'm not clear why.  Why is that? Second, I've created a f=
orm with a bunch of widgets on it, one of which is a listbox.  This is done=
 with a script, not a class.   I've defined a method that responds to a But=
ton Release event.  I know this works because I can print the value selecte=
d in the listbox while within the method.  However, I want the value of the=
 listbox after I've closed the form.  How do I get that? Thanks.
