Tkinter App Wanted

[Steve Holden]

Ask, and it shall be granted. tkMenuTest.py is shown below [...pauses to run
old code...] aaarrrggghhh ... sorry, this is *context* menus (right-button
on a canvas). Oh well, I've included it anyway, in case it's useful later.
Now, hang on [... ferkles about in John Grayson's Python stuff...] ah yes,
menu.py from chapter 4. Hope he won't mind, it's freealy available from his
web site (I think).

If you haven't read John Grayson's "Python and Tkinter Programming" it's
well worth a read. Source code at the foot of the message.

regards
 Steve
