I think I was fooled by the fact that adding the print statement
seemed to free up the window. (It was originally only added as a
trace).

What I really wanted to do was to force the window to refresh - a bit
of googling on the subject (and a helpful email from Cameron Laird)
brought me to the Tk update() method which works great.

Unfortunately I can't FTP the code until Monday... but I'm very
pelased with it......
