   Typically, at the end of main_window.__init__ or
App.OnInit, just go through the steps that you would go
through on an event.  Although I'm not familiar with poplib
and the complications that it might introduce.

   According to the docs, this is true.  What you should do
is put a Panel in the Frame, and put the ListCtrl in the
Panel.  I haven't tested this, but something like:


        tID = wxNewId()
        list_panel = wxPanel (splitter, -1)
        self.list = wxListCtrl (list_panel, tID,
                        style=wxLC_REPORT|wxSUNKEN_BORDER|wxLC_SINGLE_SEL)
...
        splitter.SplitHorizontally (list_panel, self.log, 450)


might work.

        Good Luck.      Mel.
