That is correct.  I read somewhere that of the three, it was the best one to
learn.

I thought of using an invisible "spacing" widget but I was thinking there
might be a more "elegant" method but I could not find one anywhere.

I have not tried the place geometry; manager.  It seems as if there are a

programs are not big or complex so maybe I will give it a try also.

Thanks for the help.
