Hi other chris,

thanks for the advice.  i'm definitely new to programming in addition
to python, so I appreciate the big-picture advice.

leaving that for another day, my quick follow-up question is: is the
ID passed to the EvtRadioBox function?  Because I don't want all 100
radio buttons to do the *exact* same thing, I need it to be slightly
RadioBox (id) specific, something like   print id  .  Alternatively,
are arguments passable to the general event function?

thanks again for your time and instruction chris,
chris
