For purely Python matters, this is likely a good spot -- Sorry if I sounded overly harsh. Unfortunately, when it comes to tkinter/Tk -- my one program was a decade ago, relying upon a no doubt now out-of-print book, and took a long time to get it working properly... And it was just a single window/form with a mass of file and directory requesters (used to set up a run configuration for a test station -- pick the release version, where the executables to install on the test hardware were located, etc.). All that to lead into: I tend to skip posts that mention tkinter. -- Wulfraed Dennis Lee Bieber AF6VN wlfraed@ix.netcom.com HTTP://wlfraed.home.netcom.com/
