My experience is that doing your own scrolling in Tkinter is a
nuisance at best. I recommend avoiding it if possible. It's often
possible to stuff everything into a Pmw.ScrolledFrame and have done
with it. In case you're not familiar with Pmw, it's at:
http://pmw.sourceforge.net/
If you have a use for some example scrolling code that uses static
labels and shuffles data around among them, you're welcome to steal
from the MUA that I'm working on. It's at:

You'll find the scrolling code if you download it and search for PITA
<0.01 wink>.
