Dear G. Willoughby,
I think the problem is in the line:
newName=Entry(frame1).grid(row=1,column=0)
# here newName is the return value of grid(), i.e, None, instead of a Entry
object.
things may be better if you write as:
newName=Entry(frame1)
newName.grid(row=1,column=0)
Cheers,
Xia Xiao-Qin

Button(frame1, text="Add New Entry", command=getNew).grid(row=0,column=0)
newName=Entry(frame1).grid(row=1,column=0)

it somehow doesn't work, any ideas?
P.S. no classes are used anywhere in this program.
