Thanks to you and the others who answered. I skimmed the material from Alan 
Gauld and Stephen Feng, and both look to be very helpful. The Feng material 
in specific looks to be exactly what I need to start understanding what I 
am doing with event-driven programming. From his first few pages, it 
seems that he has been where I am now. Once I get that under my belt, 
PythonCard may be a good way to do some of the quick & dirty chores I have 
been wanting to tackle.

Thanks again for your help.
