Ah so --- ah so --- ah so !!!

Thanks John.

I have 5 books on Python, including one on just Python and Tkinter and not a word on
this fact! Well, unless I missed it, which is not unlikely at all.


Since the buttons will scroll out of view if I use them in the pmw.ScrollingFrame ---
heck I can use key bindings and just say to heck with the buttons. Problem solved!


Thanks greatly for this tip. Perhaps you should think of doing a book. 


Warmest Regards, Joe
