   Chad, not Chaz. :)

Aha!  Sorry I missed this.  This assigns the return value of grid() to sval, 
rather than the Label object (as you discovered).  So if you didn't care to 
keep your own reference to the label (say you never intend to change it), 
then something like this works:

Label(wskill, text = "10").grid=(row=pos+2,col=2)

   But if want to refer to the Label later, you (usually) need to reference 
it, before you start using it:

sval = Label(wskill, text = "10")
sval.grid=(row=pos+2,col=2)

I learned that the hard way as well, in the early days. :)
