Sorry if I was unclear in my previous post.  I can use a Java or VB
GUI by making ActiveX controls from GUI panels done in those languages
and placing them on a blank PowerBuilder MDI child window.  Since I
can't do that in Python, I have to find some other way (making a
Python window a child of my PB apps MDI frame was one last desperate
shot).  Seems I'm out of luck.
