The newt source distribution comes with to demos (peanuts.py,
and popcorn.py) that show how most of the widgets work.

Yes, the "scale" widget is what you want.

The tutuorial that comes with the newt source distribution is
not 100% complete, but it's a good place to start.

If you can't find the current newt source distro anywhere, I've
put a copy of 0.50 at

  ftp://ftp.visi.com/users/grante/stuff/newt-0.50.tar.gz

I think you can get current sources as in SRPM format from
RedHat, and in some other package format from Debian.
