TKinter question (hiding the main window)

[G. Willoughby]

try these methods:

root.iconify()           to minimise the window
root.deiconify()       to bring it back

or

root.withdraw()       to 'minimise' it but not put a icon anywhere (windows
program bar)
root.deiconify()       to bring it back

or

root.destroy()          to completely get rid of it!

hope that helps  :)
