Note that it's not necessary to belong to the tkinter mailing list,
to post there (although the administrator has been *very* slow dur-
ing the last week about approving legitimate posts).

Also note that, under at least some circumstances, it is also *not*
necessary to rely on threads to keep a Tkinter GUI "live" during
long-running operations.  For now, I assert this without demonstra-
tion, simply because I can't make the time immediately to write up
a comprehensible and simple example.
